What to Look for When Visiting WESTMINSTER-CANTERBURY ON CHESAPEAKE BAY

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

Ask about staff consistency

Staff turnover is 43.1% — near the national average. Still ask whether your family member will have consistent caregivers assigned.

Ask about their most recent inspection

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