Keep the day manageable and tailored to the person's energy and preferences. Ask about access, parking, seating, and the expected tour length.
What to clarify
Tell the community about practical accommodations in advance through an appropriate channel. Avoid turning the day into a marathon comparison exercise.
A practical next step
Plan a break and a chance for the relative to share impressions before moving to another task.
Questions to take with you
- How long should the visit be?
- What accommodations are needed?
- When can we talk afterward?
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.
