Touring a couple options to (hopefully) take advantage of Medicare's 5 days of respite care. Curious to see what the rooms/residents/meals/care teams are like. Anything else I should look at/ask about?

    I would ask about medications- specifically the comfort care pack (if he's on hospice) and when/if they would administer them.
