Assisted-living, memory care: How did you find a good facility?

About state reporting and regulations. Some states actually inspect and report on assisted living and nursing facilities. But some don’t. And so knowing how much your state monitors these facilities is essential before looking at, or for the reports.

Good point. However, I’m not aware of any State DSHS department that doesn’t do a yearly survey of assisted living, memory care and nursing homes. Washington State has what are called “Adult family homes” - a home with a max of 6 residents, and they have fallen horribly behind on their oversight of these homes. Some haven’t had an inspection in 3-4 yrs! So, it’s very important to read the latest survey, and if over a year old - be especially careful.
Please don’t depend on State surveys alone - do your own homework and check references.
