Use one row for each topic: legal identity, address, license or record, service description, population, capacity, current availability, fit review, staffing, schedule, medication questions, payment, and continuing-care planning. Create columns for Facility Answer, Source, Date and Time, Confirmed, Needs Review, and Not Established. Quote rather than paraphrase when wording matters. For example, record “14-person capacity” as capacity, not as “14 beds available.”
Keep payment questions precise. Ask whether the facility participates with the person's specific insurance plan, what verification has occurred, which costs may remain, and whether written confirmation is available. Insurance participation and payment are not established by the public facts provided for Living Longer Recovery. Do not treat a benefits check, quoted estimate, or general insurance statement as a guarantee of payment.
- Can the facility support each important claim with a current, identifiable source?
- Does the answer apply to this person, or is it only a general program description?
- Which statements must be reconfirmed before travel, payment, or any other commitment?
