When your tour memory care facilities casually talk to employees in the parking lots and ask them how they like working there. You would be amazed at what you learn.

I toured facilities in two states.

Also when you are touring ask staff glove change policies. I had two private duty CNA's who also worked at facilities both tell me that they were told
to wear the same pair of gloves for all of their patients.  They were specifically told not to change gloves when they went from resident to resident. Both facilities were privately owned. One was on the eastern shore of Maryland and one was on the western shore of Maryland.

In general I found the smaller, older, rural facilities seemed to offer better care, residents were cleaner and happier. There seemed to be a lot less turnover. Local families seemed to be very connected to the residents.

We toured one that was supposed to be the best in the state. It was new and large.   They appeared chronically understaffed while the rooms were large there was literally no staff around.
