When touring a memory care facility, here are some questions that you may want to consider asking:

1. What training do the staff members receive to care for residents with memory impairment?

2. What is the ratio of staff to residents in the memory care unit?

3. What are the visiting hours and policies for family and friends?

4. What activities are offered for residents with memory impairment, and how often are they held?

5. Can residents bring personal belongings and decorate their rooms?

6. How are meals and snacks provided, and are there options for residents with dietary restrictions?

7. What are security measures in place to ensure residents’ safety?

8. What is the protocol for handling medical emergencies?

9. Are there specialized services available for residents with specific memory conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease or dementia?

10. How does the facility involve families in the care of their loved ones?
