How Families Can Prepare for a Congregate Living Admission

Preparing for a congregate living admission can feel overwhelming, especially when decisions need to happen quickly. A little organization can make the conversation smoother and help the care team understand the resident’s needs.

Helpful information to gather

Before calling, families can collect basic details about the resident’s current condition, medications, mobility needs, recent hospital or provider instructions, and any equipment used at home.

• Current medication list
• Recent discharge paperwork or care notes
• Mobility and transfer needs
• Diet, hydration, or swallowing concerns
• Emergency contacts and decision-makers

Questions worth asking

Families should feel comfortable asking about daily routines, communication, visitation, care coordination, and what documents may be needed before move-in. The right setting should be able to explain the next steps clearly.
