What to Look for When Visiting HOEGER HOUSE

Use this checklist during an in-person visit. First impressions reveal more than brochures or websites ever will.

Is there an unpleasant smell?

A persistent odor (urine, feces, or heavy chemical deodorizer) indicates poor hygiene maintenance. Brief cooking smells are normal; lingering waste odors are not.

Are residents engaged or sitting idle?

Active residents (playing games, talking, in therapy) indicate quality programming. A room full of people staring at a TV during daytime is a concerning sign.

Count staff vs. residents during your visit

HOEGER HOUSE reports 5.1 total nurse hours per resident per day. During your visit, observe whether staff seem rushed or overwhelmed — the real ratio matters more than reported numbers.

Ask about staff consistency

With 60% staff turnover (above the ~40% national average), ask: "Will my family member see the same caregivers regularly, or does staff rotate frequently?" Consistent caregivers notice changes in health sooner.

Ask about their most recent inspection

3 deficiencies were found in the last inspection. Ask specifically: "What were they, and what have you done to fix them?" A transparent facility will answer clearly.
