<br/><br/> "As America's population ages, many of the nation's seniors turn to assisted living facilities for the long-term care that overworked and overstressed families can't provide. Fireplaces and big-screen TVs make the residences a welcome alternative to bare-bones nursing homes. But the facilities are often less safe than popularly perceived." (USA TODAY) This article reports that a USA TODAY investigation found that "staff shortages and insufficient training place elderly residents at risk with inadequate care, delayed diagnosis and treatment and even death."
