AARP just published a report on assisted living, and all I can say is, here we go again. It concludes that “the state of assisted living today is cause for concern for many stakeholders. The lack of national federal standards for care centers creates an underregulated space.” It continues on, stating that the “absence of national oversight, standards, and definitions results in a patchwork of inconsistent state policies forming the national landscape of assisted living.” The report also mentions that affordability is a growing problem, and we could not agree more. However, as we saw in the nursing home industry, when you start to over-regulate, with national staffing standards and rules,... Read More »
