I doubt you will find one that he can smoke indoors. That is a thing of the past.

I would ask if they have smoking areas.

My dads board and care home allowed it outside.

Call around and find out. Some do, some don't. But I've yet to see a managed care facility that allows smoking inside the facility or inside a resident's room. Outside only is where some facilities allow smoking. My folks ALF did allow smoking outside in designated areas where they provided those tall ashtray type things for cigarette disposal.

My SO works at a independent and assisted care. They have an outside smoking area for staff and members alike.

I'd strike through that one without a second thought, then. Can they even spell "person-centered care"?

More thoughtful facilities will work something out, and those ones are at least making an effort to respect their residents' right to autonomy.
