- Ask how many aides and supervisors work each shift, nights included, and what share are agency staff.
- Ask what happens when a private-pay resident's money runs out, and whether Special Assistance residents are admitted.
- Read the residency agreement at home first: fees, the notice required before a rate increase, and discharge terms.
