"How do you know which facility is actually the right one?"
"The Assisted Living Evaluation System gives you a structured framework for touring, comparing, and confidently choosing a care facility — without relying on someone else's sales pitch.”
Who’s It’s For
You're at the point where home care may not be enough anymore. You're researching facilities, taking tours, fielding recommendations — and trying to make one of the biggest decisions of your parent's life with very little objective guidance.
Most of the resources available to you are provided by the facilities themselves, or by services paid to refer you to them.
This system is built entirely from the caregiver's perspective.
"A weighted decision system"
A weighted decision system — not a collection of notes pages"
Decisions about senior care are usually made during stressful, emotional periods — which is exactly when it's hardest to stay objective. This system gives you a structured process so every facility gets evaluated against the same standards.
The evaluation happens in three phases:
Phase 1 — Confirm Readiness. Clarify whether assisted living is actually the right next step based on current care needs and safety.
Phase 2 — Evaluate Consistently. Tour facilities and document observations using the same structured criteria every time.
Phase 3 — Decide with Confidence. Compare facilities side by side using weighted scoring and real cost numbers — not just gut feeling after a long day of tours.
This is not a collection of notes pages. It's a structured system designed to help you make one of the most important caregiving decisions with clarity instead of guesswork.
The Weighted Scoring System
It's common for one facility to look better on paper — but feel different in person.
Before touring any facility, you'll assign an importance weight (1–5) to what matters most to your family — medical oversight, location, cost, staff engagement, activities. Then every facility gets scored against those same priorities.
This does two things: it keeps your evaluation consistent across every tour, even after the details start to blur together. And it gives you language for the moment a facility scores well on paper but doesn't feel right in person — because that gut feeling matters too, and this system makes room for it instead of overriding it.
