Help to choose a great way to live cookies, etc.? Are there physicians in the house!? Is there always a nurse on the floor and, if so, what is the resident-to-nurse ratio? Now, let’s talk about medicine and fulfillment. If the resident needs medicine, then does the nurse distribute and notify the resident as well as the loved one when refills are necessary. Ask about hygiene and bathing routine. Ask about weekly laundry service and light housekeeping. Does the house provide garbage bags, toilet tissue and light bulbs throughout? Is there an activity schedule? Does the apartment include utilities, carpet, blinds and monitored smoke detectors? How about my loved one’s hair? Does a beautician come regularly?

Hearthstone Personal Care Community offers you not only the list of questions for you to consider when interviewing a place for your loved one but we also hope you will consider us! Call for a tour today of our private yet accessible home between the heart of Roswell and Georgia 400. Good luck with the important decision: 770-552-1091.
