What should you ask when touring Westchester of Jacksonville?

Start with what AHCA has already cited at Westchester of Jacksonville — resident supervision and services, resident rights, contracts and visitation and specialty-license (ECC/LNS/LMH) requirements — and ask what changed afterward; then cover overnight staffing, the full rate sheet and what would trigger a move-out.

• How often are residents checked overnight, and how is that documented?
• Can we take the residency agreement home to review before signing, and what is your visitation policy?
• Which services under your specialty license cost extra, and who on staff delivers them?
• How quickly are changes in my parent's condition documented and shared with family?
• How long have the administrator and the resident care director been in their roles?
• Is a nurse on site every day, and who covers nights and weekends?
• What happens if a resident runs out of private funds — do you work with SMMC long-term care plans?
• Can we visit unannounced in the evening and at mealtimes?

Tour at a mealtime, ask to see this week's activity calendar, and take the contract home. Under s. 429.28, F.S., a Florida ALF must give 45 days' written notice before a non-emergency relocation or discharge.

How does moving into Westchester of Jacksonville work?

Florida requires a medical examination on AHCA Form 1823, completed within 60 days before or 30 days after admission, so Westchester of Jacksonville can confirm it can meet your parent's needs.

• Residency agreement. Florida requires a written contract listing the services, the rate and the notice the facility must give before a rate increase; compare it with other communities before signing.
• Payment. Most residents pay privately; long-term care insurance, VA Aid & Attendance and, where accepted, SMMC LTC Medicaid can offset costs.

If Westchester of Jacksonville has no opening, ask to be put on its waitlist and keep touring — availability at large Northeast Florida communities changes month to month.
