What Training and Experience Does Your Staff Have?

One of the very first questions you should ask is "what training and experience does your staff have?". This question will help you to determine if the staff is qualified to meet your loved one's needs. If all of the staff has received thorough training and they have years of experience, you can feel confident that you or your loved one is in good hands. At Cedar Hill, our entire staff has years of experience in many aspects of assisted living. You can rest assured that when you choose Cedar Hill, you or your loved one will be well cared for.

Can Staff Members Administer Medications?

You should make sure to ask if staff members can administer medication. This question is important because if the community does not have staff members who can administer medication, you or your loved one may need to consider another community or be put on an alternate medication schedule. Our staff is qualified to administer medications and we also have medical professionals who regularly visit our community.

What Type of Apartments Do You Have Available?

Another question to ask is what type of apartments does the community have. When you ask this question, the facility should be able to show you several options that meet you or your loved one's needs. Cedar Hill provides several comfortable options to choose from including short-stay rehabilitation centers, studio apartments, and one- and two-bedroom apartments. Whatever you or your loved one's needs may be, Cedar Hill will have a comfortable and personalized apartment for you.

Do You Offer Free Transportation/Transportation Alternatives?

The final question to ask is if the community offers free transportation or transportation alternatives. If the community does not offer transportation, you or your loved one will need to get around town on their own. Cedar Hill offers complimentary transportation for group outings and offsite doctor visits.
