Assisted living is for someone who is largely independent but needs a reliable hand with the everyday things — bathing, dressing, medications, meals, getting to appointments. In Wisconsin, most communities marketed as “assisted living” are licensed as a Community-Based Residential Facility (CBRF), for five or more unrelated adults receiving room, board, supervision and up to three hours of nursing care a week, or as a Residential Care Apartment Complex (RCAC), which provides private apartments and can deliver up to 28 hours a week of supportive care — a materially higher care ceiling than a CBRF.

Visit twice, at different hours
A scheduled mid-morning tour and an unannounced 7 p.m. drop-in can look like two different buildings. Evening and overnight are when staffing thins and when families are most often surprised.
Eat a meal there. Talk to a resident's family member in the parking lot rather than one the community introduces you to.
