Frequently Asked Questions
What is the survey researching?
The goal is to better understand residents’ experiences, well-being, and what contributes to living well over time. What we learn will help inform future programs, services, and experiences at Wisteria.
How much time will participating require?
Participation is designed to be simple and manageable. Participants will be asked to complete brief surveys at several points throughout the program, rather than having an ongoing time commitment.
How will I complete the surveys?
When it is time to complete a survey, you will receive instructions via email with a unique link that allows you to complete it at your convenience.
Is participation required?
No. Participation is completely voluntary. You can choose whether you would like to participate, and choosing not to participate will affect neither your participation nor your experience at Wisteria.
Will my responses be confidential?
Yes. Individual survey responses will be kept confidential. Wisteria will receive aggregate or de-identified information and findings rather than individual survey responses, unless you specifically authorize otherwise.
What happens after I register?
Registering lets us know you are interested in participating. We’ll follow up with additional information about the program, what participation involves, and the next steps before anything begins.
