Babyboomer reviewed FRONTLINE: Life and Death in Assisted Living DVD

Spot on. This was my experience.

True depiction of this industrys 100% occupancy goal with little regard for resident acuity or care needs or desire to provide adequate staff training. My work experience as an RN Administrator in 3 large companies in Oregon was the same. Marketing all smoke and mirrors.

A must see, for Baby Boomers

The information on this documentary is of great importance for the children of older parents, as well as for aging people that do not have close family to help them. We need more of these factual reports to avoid being pray to the ambitious leaders of organizations pretending to be helpful to the elderly.

Corpsman reviewed FRONTLINE: Life and Death in Assisted Living DVD

Very truthful stuff.

Im giving this to my family members. People have a hard time understanding what goes on in these places. I took care of my bed ridden mother for 18 years and no one outside my house offered to help. In Houston, Interfaith Ministries and St. Lukes Methodist Church does a lot for caregivers. Dont get me started.
