3 instances of negative coverage and 0 instance of positive coverage. Shame on you.
There are many wonderful Assisted Living Companies out there check out ALC, Merrill Gardens, The Arbor Company, Elmcroft etc.

Its sad that these deaths could've been prevented but I don't think all the blame should be placed on the facilities. If you want your loved ones closely monitored and you can't do it yourself they should be put in a nursing home. I don't understand why it was the facilities fault that the woman wasn't moved to a nursing home and developed bedsores and died. Her family should have moved her when she became bedridden.

People never want to take responsibility when their decisions, even made with the best intentions, leads to something bad happening.
