What should you ask when touring The Parc at Harbor View Senior Living?

• What is your average pendant/e-call response time overnight, and can I see last month's response log?

• What has your quality-improvement committee changed in the past year?
• How do you notify families and the state after a fall or other incident, and how fast?
• How do you handle a hospital discharge back to the residence?

How does moving into The Parc at Harbor View Senior Living work?

Before anyone moves into The Parc at Harbor View Senior Living, Massachusetts rules require the residence to screen and assess the prospective resident and agree a written service plan with the family.

• Residency agreement and disclosures. The residence must give you its residency agreement and a disclosure of fees, services and discharge terms; take them home and compare them before paying a deposit.
• Special Care Residence admission. Admission to The Parc at Harbor View Senior Living's 30-unit Special Care Residence is based on a dementia diagnosis and an assessment that the secured setting is appropriate; ask what criteria would move a resident between its traditional and Special Care units.
• Medication plan. Decide whether your parent will self-administer, receive Self-Administered Medication Management (SAMM) help from aides, or need Limited Medication Administration (LMA) by a nurse — it affects both care and fees.
• Payment. Rent and care are almost always private pay in an ALR; long-term care insurance and VA Aid & Attendance can offset them.

If The Parc at Harbor View Senior Living has no opening, ask to join its waitlist and keep touring — availability at large Greater Boston residences changes month to month.
