What To Look For In A Retirement Home in Toronto
Toronto is a big city with numerous different communities and options for retirement homes. When deciding on a home for either yourself or a loved one, it is common practice to go in for a visit, look around, and ask questions so you can better familiarize yourself with the place. If you are unsure what to look for, or want to check if you’ve overlooked something, consider the following elements in your evaluation.
Residents and Staff in the Retirement Home
The other residents and staff in the retirement home or senior living facility are going to be your community once you move in. If you can, speak with other residents during a visit and try to learn about their personalities or interests. Keep in mind those that you don’t think you can get along with as well as those you’d like to know better. The same applies to the staff. Senior care works better when staff and residents are able to have friendly, enjoyable relationships beyond the formality of their positions. Staff that is warm, respectful, and accommodating to the challenges of age is a key part of this.
