4.How do I select a community that is right for me?
Moving into a senior living setting is a tough decision for the entire family. Good planning is key to making the situation easier for everyone. Determine the type of living community and level of care and visit the communities in your area. Each community is different, but it should always be clean, offer quality care, and have an experienced and polite staff. Take consideration the esthetics, meals, amenities, and activities. Ask about complete costs, add-on costs for services or amenities, and future increases. If possible, follow-up with a trial stay and experience the community first-hand.

12.What about emergencies - is there a personal emergency response system?
Health and safety are a primary concern of Lamplight Communities. All rooms are equipped with an emergency response system in the living and bath areas. Each resident upon move in will be given an emergency response pendent. This pendant if activated will immediately contact a response unit attempt to contact the resident and then contact 911. The "in case of emergency" contact will then be notified via phone that the resident has had an emergency and inform them of the actions taken.
