How to evaluate Montgomery Hospice

Staffing and transparency are the most important signals at any licensed community. Find out how many staff stay awake overnight, what caregiver turnover looks like, and how long the administrator has been in the role. Get the monthly rate itemized for your parent's exact care level, and ask plainly what pushes a resident into a higher-cost tier. Visit more than once, unannounced.

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?
• How are medications managed, and how are errors tracked?
• What license do you hold, and is it active with no open disciplinary action?
• What activities are offered seven days a week?
• How do you handle a resident fall or medical emergency at 2 a.m.?
• Can I visit unannounced after we've signed the residency agreement?
• Do you accept Medicaid home- and community-based waiver funding, or VA Aid & Attendance?
• If my parent needs dementia care, how recently was staff trained, and by whom?
