I can relate to that Sonya. I am sorry this happened to your dad!

I really wish that I had known about about the Inspection Reports before my daughter went to retirement and spent 6 years there. My daughter’s home accepted her knowing she had a series TBI. The moment she went missing they kicked her out.

See if there are any red flags with standard inspections, if there are any Critical Inspections(and really look into what they were done for), and any write ups and/or fines. You need to look for unsolicited reviews. Ask others online if they have any experience with the facilities. There are some great checklists online-use them. Ask a lot of questions. Ask what items would be extra? Ask about staff ratios-how many staff members at night on each floor? If it’s a retirement facility they should not be accepting seniors with dementia or major physical issues as they do not have the trained staff, staff numbers or facilities and many place will just accept to get their numbers for bonuses and a few months later will kick these people out.

On the surface, it seemed to be the right fit. That was until he went wandering and they forced him to start eating in his room. Also they had no activities aside from bingo despite my brother being told there was lots of activities. Things got worse when covid happened.
