Key Questions to Ask When Touring Senior Living Communities

As you embark on this journey of finding the perfect senior living community, remember that your needs and preferences should guide your decision. The goal is to find a place where you feel comfortable and excited about the vibrant new lifestyle that awaits you.

  • What does a typical day look like for residents?

    Asking this question allows you to envision daily life in the community. A snapshot of a resident's day-to-day experience can tell you whether the community aligns with your lifestyle and interests, from morning routines to evening activities.

  • Can you tell me more about the activities and amenities available?

    A thriving senior living community should offer a variety of engaging activities and top-notch amenities. Ask about fitness classes, social events, educational workshops, and other activities. Don't forget to inquire about amenities like fitness centers, outdoor spaces, and common areas.

  • How does the community support my independence?

    Your independence is crucial. Ask how the community encourages independence while still providing the support you need. This could include features like fully equipped apartments, easily accessible facilities, and team members committed to respecting residents' autonomy.

  • How does the community ensure my health?

    Health is a top priority. Ask about the community's security measures, emergency response systems, and how team members are trained to handle emergencies. Ask about nearby hospitals or skilled nursing facilities that can provide rehabilitation.

  • How is the monthly fee structured?

    Cost clarity helps avoid future surprises. Ask about what the monthly fee covers and how often it might increase. Ensure you understand which services and amenities are included and which might incur additional charges.

  • Can I meet some of the residents?

    Meeting residents can give you a firsthand account of life in the community. Their experiences and insights can help gauge if the community is the right fit for you.

    There is a type of community for every person. At 55 Resort Apartments at Water Valley, we focus on providing residents with a vibrant and engaging lifestyle. We encourage residents to live life to the fullest and enjoy luxurious amenities and a dynamic activity schedule.


    CCRCs are different. These senior living facilities provide various levels of care as residents age. A continuum of care community, including independent and assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing, is important to some retirees. However, this form of senior housing typically requires a significant lump sum investment plus monthly costs.
