How to evaluate Brooke Grove Retirement Village

The strongest predictors of quality at a senior-care community rarely show up in the brochure. Get the overnight caregiver-to-resident ratio - daytime numbers paper over the real picture - then ask about staff turnover over the past year and how long the administrator has held the job. Find out what would trigger a move to a higher level of care and how often the care plan gets revisited. Time a visit around a meal and an activity, and watch whether residents actually seem engaged.

Questions to ask on your tour

• What is the overnight caregiver-to-resident ratio?
• How long have the administrator and head caregiver been in their roles?
• What care needs would require a resident to transfer to a higher level of care?
