What is it that you are looking for in a Retirement Community?

We had a few extra concerns with my father's dementia.  Here's what we looked at.

* Consistent assignment of staff to get to know the patients, includes turnover rate.

* Individualized care with that knowledge, including recognizing subtle changes.

* Administration of medications, and oversight of prescriptions.

* Increasing mobility. 

* Reducing pressure ulcers (bedsores).

* Dementia wing access and egress security.

* Quality food.

* Housekeeping.

* Activities, socializing opportunities within and without the facility.

* Transport to appointments and shopping.

* Homelike environment vs. cinder block sparse room.

No ankle biters or teens running around.

Nice quiet place in the Marshall Islands !

I would be looking for mild weather, large amounts of activities (Not necessarily within the community itself but within the surrounding areas). Low maintenance, so if I want to travel I don't come home to additional work. Inexpensive but healthy places to eat nearby. Houses either not touching or having one outside wall and the other be overly sound proofed. Has a pool open 24/7 and Hot tub, and a workout area.

Myself and one other person, warm weather and sand!
