lead article this morning in the Washington post on the number of people who wander away from AL and NC facilities. Hopefully this is a free link not behind a paywall…

Thanks for sharing this a good article and it points to the lack of adequate regulations for what is an increasingly important issue.

Micro chipping has been discussed for years.

I know for a fact that in OK mandatory inspections are not made due to understaffing.

Thank you for the link. Very good article, well researched. I did not have the emotional fortitude to watch the videos though. If you read all the way to the end, after the research notes, they have links to more articles, one on how to choose an assisted living facility, also a good read.

From the article—"In an Arizona facility, inspectors reported that staff had covered the door alarm speaker and controls with masking tape." Makes you wonder what people were thinking.

Thank you for sharing this article, very eye opening and a long read. I have two friends in AL.
