Ask which practices and relationships the person wants to keep. On-site offerings may not replace a familiar congregation or personal routine.
What to clarify
Discuss transportation, visits, dietary observances, and private practice with the community. Avoid assuming a calendar label covers every preference.
A practical next step
Create a simple plan for the connections the resident values most.
Questions to take with you
- Which practices matter personally?
- Who can visit or provide transport?
- What can the community accommodate?
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.
