Resident Supervision
A focused look at how staff support residents who need extra oversight, especially those with cognitive changes. You’ll learn what attentive supervision looks like and how to see the subtle cues that a community may be stretched too thin.
 
Why This Checklist Matters
Resident supervision is one of the most revealing indicators of how well a community truly functions. Families often assume their loved one will naturally receive attentive support, but the quality of supervision varies widely—and those differences become critical when someone is living with cognitive changes, mobility concerns, or moments of confusion. This section helps you understand what meaningful oversight looks like: staff who are present rather than rushed, aware rather than reactive, and able to anticipate needs before they escalate. It also shows you how to recognize the quiet signs that a facility is stretched too thin, long before it shows up in missed care or preventable incidents.
