Choosing the Right Facility – Large Facility or Small Facility

Consideration should be given to all types of facilities that are available to enable the resident and family to choose the best one suited for them. SARCH Membership consists of various personal, residential care and assisted living facilities, including Adult Foster Care. Each is independently owned and operated. It is our strong recommendation that you call and visit several homes before deciding which home meets your needs.

One of the primary advantages of Residential/Personal Care Homes is the "family-like" atmosphere provided by the premises and staff. The types of personal care services that are offered by Homes vary, so it is important to know what type of care your loved one requires.

Activities are another area in which you may be interested. Large Assisted Living Facilities offer a wide range of group activities. Members of SARCH offer more intimate, small group, social and physical interaction. Ask what activities are offered, how often, and group size. Keep in mind the preferences and capabilities of your loved one while choosing the appropriate setting.
