Choosing a senior living community is a major decision. Clear, consistent questions make it easier to compare what each community truly offers.
NC Senior Living Solutions created this complimentary two-page worksheet to help older adults and families compare up to five communities side by side, with more room to write during tours. It is designed to be printed, carried on tours and completed by hand.
Compare the details that can change the decision
- Room rates, apartment sizes, deposits and recurring charges
- Levels of care, included services and the true estimated monthly cost
- Meals, housekeeping, laundry and transportation
