The Place for Active Adults
The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati
trace their roots to Emmitsburg, Maryland where Saint Elizabeth Bayley
Seton founded the community in 1809. In
1829, the Sisters arrived in Cincinnati to serve the educational and
social needs of the community. Sensing a need for services geared directly
to Cincinnati’s mature adults, they began planning for Bayley Place
in 1986. Bayley Place opened on October 26, 1990.
Located in southwestern Cincinnati, we offer a full spectrum of health and wellness options, as well as retirement living, in a comfortable, friendly setting.

Tip #1: Clean as a Whistle
Is the community fresh and clean? Look past the furnishings and into
corners, baseboards, and windows. Ask how often housekeeping is provided
in
the apartment or room. What services does maintenance provide? What is
their
response time?
Tip #2: Follow Your Nose
Odors may indicate lack of cleanliness or a temporary problem that was
caused by a recent incident. If you find odors in a concentrated area of
the
tour this may indicate a single incident. Odors throughout the community
are
likely to indicate a problem. Ask the manager what they believe to be the
problem before proceeding.
Tip #3: Busy residents are happy residents
Ask to watch activities. Are they well attended? Does the staff seem to
be
enjoying the activity as well? View the community event calendar. Do they
match your loved one's interests? Look for small and large group activities,
trips or outings. Inquire about religious services if this is important.
Tip
#4: Whistle while they work
Staff attitude and friendliness are of the utmost importance. Observe the
staff interacting with current residents. Do they listen and make eye
contact? If you feel welcomed while you tour, so will your loved one. Make
sure to get a good understanding of the staffing pattern. How many people
are truly involved in his/her care? Introduction to the management team
will
help you understand the goals of the property. Is the manager willing and
available to meet with you? Do you have confidence in his/her management
style and experience?
Tip #5: Find the great outdoors
Everyone wants to go outside on beautiful spring days. Investigate the
outdoor areas for the residents. Does it feel safe and secure? Find out
if
the staff uses the same area for breaks. Do they host activities such as
gardening in these areas?
Tip #6: Choices, choices, choices
The dining room experience is very important to seniors. Discuss entree
choices and ask about dining hours and procedures. Bring your loved one
in
for a meal to taste the food and meet some of the residents. Discuss what
happens if a resident cannot make it to the dining room for a meal. Don't
forget to ask about the laundry service. Who does the laundry and what
is
the cost? Ask about laundry procedures.
Tip #7: Safe and sound
Safety and security features are very important for seniors. Are the
bathrooms accessible and do they have grab bars in convenient locations?
How does a resident contact staff if they have an emergency in their room
or
apartment? What other safety features are available in the apartment
and throughout the community? Ask about the staffing pattern to understand
who will be on-site to assist the resident. How may licensed nurses or
staff
members are available? What are the staffing patterns at night versus in
the
daytime? How are medications managed?
Tip #8: Care with dignity
As you tour, ask lots of questions on personal care. Look at current
residents. Are they clean-shaven with well-groomed hair and nails? Discuss
bathing options and your loved one's preferences. Are the residents dressed
appropriately? Are the staff treating residents with respect and a smile?
Tip
#9: When it's time to leave
No senior likes to move a lot. Ask about specific move-out criteria. Under
what circumstances is a resident asked to move? What type of notice is
given
by them or by you? In many cases, a 30-day notice may be required.
Tip
#10: Trust your instincts
As you're touring, can you imagine you or your loved one living there and
being comfortable? Did you feel at ease while touring? Was the staff
friendly and inviting? The property doesn't have to be the most beautiful
to
be the best place for them to live comfortably! Follow your instincts and
your heart.
