Should I visit the assisted living facilities I'm interested in?

YES!

Whether it's you or another family member who is looking at assisted living, you should visit any facility you're interested in, at least twice, before making a decision. You need to get a sense of what it would be like to live in this facility.

It is suggested that one visit be on a weekday so you can talk about your concerns and questions with the management or sales staff person.

Another visit should be either on a weekday evening or on a weekend so you can see what services are available to residents during these times when fewer staff are on-site.
