Try to visit at different times of day, including mealtimes, to see the home in action.
Speak with staff and, if possible, current residents or their families about their experience.
Ask how the home supports residents who may need nursing care in the future.
Look at the communal spaces — do they feel welcoming, clean, and well-used?
