10 Things Your Assisted Living Facility Won’t Tell You
Recently, I read an article, entitled “10 Things Your Assisted Living Facility Won’t Tell you” listed on the Fox Business website that discusses the disadvantages of assisted living. For some of you that may be currently looking into assisted living facilities, I thought I would post this article.
Here is the URL:
Although I think the article has a lot of relevant information, and could be useful to many people, it is key to remember that the article completely focuses on pointing out all the negative aspects of assisted living. I also want to say that I don’t necessarily agree with all the information.
For example, one of the “10 things to remember” is that assisted living facilities stop spending when the beds are full. While, I cannot speak for all facilities, this statement is largely overstated. I do know of several places where this is the case, but I know of more facilities where this is completely untrue.
Largely, I think several other factors should be considered such as:
- Does it provide a high level of quality of care to the residents?
- What type of reputation does the facility have in the community?
- How well did the facility do in recent inspections?
These are all things to think about…
Overall, I thought the article was worth reading and good “food for thought”. Just remember, the article was written in the negative (to point out problems). While it does give you 10 things to remember, what it doesn’t remind you of is the thousands of things that assisted living facilities do right everyday.
