Questions to ask
9 things worth asking before you decide, chosen because the public record does not answer them. A blank means nobody has published the answer, not that the answer is bad.
- Can a same-sex couple share a room or an apartment, on the same terms as any other couple, at every level of care you offer?
- Who counts as family for visiting, for medical updates and for decisions, if the person closest to me is not a relative or a spouse?
- Do you have a written nondiscrimination policy that names sexual orientation and gender identity? Can I have a copy?
