3. How many meals per day are included? Snacks?
4. Special diets you accommodate (diabetic, low-sodium, pureed, vegetarian, kosher/halal)
5. Can families join for meals, and what does a guest meal cost?

Activities & engagement

1. A typical week: what’s on the calendar? (Feel free to attach a real recent activity calendar — families love seeing the actual thing.)
2. Physical fitness offerings (exercise classes, gym equipment, walking groups, PT-led programs)
3. Games, clubs, and social events (cards, bingo, book clubs, happy hours, live music, holiday events)
4. Entertainment and enrichment (performers, lectures, crafts, gardening, intergenerational programs)
5. Religious/spiritual services on site or nearby
6. For memory care: what does engagement look like on your secured unit specifically?

Getting out & around

3. Group outings: how often, and where have you gone recently?
4. Visiting hours and overnight guest policy
