2. Be Objective: Get an objective and complete list of the senior housing

options in your desired area. Visit the Alzheimer's Association's

Senior Housing Finder(SM) at http://www.alz.org to get a comprehensive list

of all senior housing providers. This navigation tool lists ALL

licensed facilities by location, so you'll be able to browse all the

options online.

3. Inspect: Narrow your search to a short list of potential options, and

then visit each place at least once to get a feel for its environment,

management and staff.

4. Trust but verify: Visit http://www.medicare.gov to review facility surveys

and inspection reports. Secure references from current and past

residents and their families. Then go to http://www.ltcombudsman.org to find

your local long term care ombudsman, and call to ask for insights

about local facilities.

5. Confirm your choice: Once your loved one has transitioned to a new

environment, visit or make contact with them frequently to help them

stay connected.
