What families should ask when touring an assisted living community

A practical question list for families evaluating assisted living, with emphasis on connection, communication, and transparency.

Ask about daily life

Families should ask what mornings, evenings, weekends, and quiet periods look like, not just the activity calendar.

Ask how families stay informed

Good communication includes everyday context, not only incident reports or formal care updates.

Ask about technology boundaries

Any engagement technology should explain what it stores, who supports it, and what it does not do.
