Ask for the facility's approved plan, how much of the building the generator cools, and where residents go if they must evacuate. Our guide to the 96-hour generator rule explains what to check.

Judge Hearthstone Wildwood on staffing, how it handles a decline and what the inspection record shows — the tour itself is the least reliable signal.
