How will you give notice to individuals who are not working out in terms of living in your residence, e.g. what will that entail cost-wise? How much notice do you expect in order to move out of the residence? Who will provide the care and what is their background and experience in this area? Do you have a policy on criminal record checks via the RCMP? Who will provide care if the primary caregivers become sick or there is an emergency that requires them to leave town for a short while? What are your expectations cost-wise, if your resident who is also on a wait list for a government facility, is suddenly given notice to move into that facility? How will you deal with a trial period for a potential resident, i.e. cost per diem or monthly rate and notice expectation?
