How to evaluate Wesley Enhanced Living Pennypack Park Health Center

What really tells you how good a community is won't show up in any brochure. Get the overnight caregiver-to-resident ratio, because the daytime numbers hide the real picture; then ask about staff turnover over the past year and how long the administrator has held the job. Find out what care needs would trigger a move-out, and how often the care plan gets reviewed. Show up during a meal and an activity, walk the halls, and watch whether residents actually look engaged. And confirm the facility's PA license and inspection history through the correct DHS or DOH facility search.

Questions to ask on your tour

• What is the overnight caregiver-to-resident ratio?
• How long have the administrator and head caregiver been in their roles?
• What care needs would require a resident to transfer to a higher level of care?
