Although it was extremely sad, I think it was good information for people! Many Assisted Living Facilities promise a lot, but the real care is just not there. Of course there are many good facilities, but I’m afraid this representation is very common. I really hate that staffing and care is cut, just to make more money for the corporations! So sad.
HI Pat
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment. I thought the piece was good, but like everything, you can’t cover all aspects. I too felt horrible for those families, but also know there is a lot of terrific care being given and some I’m sure is at Emeritus as well. Like all industries there is the good, the bad and the ugly. I hope this doesn’t scare people away from assisted livings, but makes them decide to get more educated and involved. In turn I hope all agencies take this seriously and learn from this feature to avoid similar situations.

There is need for assisted living. Specially assisted living for mentally ill. is mostly needed.
