Some questions are practical. Others are personal. Both deserve time and attention.
Can I bring personal belongings?
Ask the provider about furniture, decorations and practical room requirements. Familiar items are a useful topic to discuss when imagining a move.
Can family and friends visit?
Each home has its own arrangements. Ask about visiting, shared meals, outings and any circumstances that might affect access.
What if the support I need changes?
Discuss how the home reviews needs and what it can and cannot provide. Suitability requires an assessment and a conversation with the team.
