Send your priorities before the call so the tour can show what matters. Ask to see the actual room type, common spaces, and the routes a resident uses in daily life.
What to clarify
A camera angle can hide distances and obstacles. Ask for dimensions and a floor plan, and arrange an in-person check when feasible. Do not record without permission.
A practical next step
Assign one person to ask questions and another to take notes. Finish by identifying what the virtual visit could not confirm.
Questions to take with you
- Can we see the actual room type?
- How far is it from dining?
- What should someone verify in person?
Turn answers into a next step
After your conversation, record what was confirmed, what still needs an answer, and who will follow up. Keep sensitive records in the appropriate private channel. These planning questions help organize a conversation; they do not replace a provider assessment or professional advice.
