Touring an assisted living community is one of the most important steps in finding the right fit for your loved one. At The Arbors at Battlefield in Chesapeake, Virginia, we understand that families want a clear picture of care, amenities, and daily life before making this life-changing decision. Asking the right questions helps ensure your loved one receives the support they need while maintaining independence and comfort.

What Levels of Care Are Offered?

Start by understanding the scope of support the community provides:

• Assistance with daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management
• Specialized care options, including memory care if needed
• How care plans are personalized and updated over time

Knowing the levels of care helps you determine whether the community can meet your loved one’s current and future needs.

What Are the Safety and Security Measures?

Safety is a top priority for families touring assisted living communities. Ask about:

• Emergency call systems in apartments and common areas
• Staff availability and training, including first aid and CPR
• Secure entrances, monitored hallways, and fall-prevention programs

At The Arbors, these measures give residents freedom while providing families peace of mind.

What Social and Recreational Activities Are Available?

Daily life in assisted living should be engaging and enriching. Questions to ask include:

• What types of social, educational, and recreational programs are offered?
• Are residents encouraged to pursue hobbies and interests?
• How often are outings or community events scheduled?

A vibrant community helps residents stay active, connected, and happy.

What Are the Dining Options Like?

Meals are a big part of daily life. Be sure to ask:

• Are meals prepared on-site and nutritious?
• Are dietary needs and preferences accommodated?
• Are dining options flexible and social?

At The Arbors, our chef-prepared meals focus on health, taste, and enjoyment.

How Are Families Involved and Informed?

A strong assisted living community supports families as well as residents. Ask about:
