Why Inspections & Investigations Reports are Important

Researching assisted living in Vermont, or anywhere else can be a challenging experience.   It’s hard to know which sites to trust, and what information is accurate out there.

Inspections reports offer a clear, accurate way to assess any misfires or negligence in the facility’s history.    

Of course, most facilities or homes will acquire negative findings if they’re in business long enough.   The important thing is leaning how the facility handled any incidents, and if those incidents have a repetitive pattern.  

Inspections reports offer a great way for you to come up with good, constructive questions to ask facility owners and administrators as you research, and tour different facilities.
