The long term care industry is poor regulated at every level. These facilities focus on warehousing people and they are not using modern methods in serving the needs of theirs elderly and disabled patients. This whole country is ill prepared to meet the needs of the aging Boomers that will need assistance with daily living. Not everyone of them will need hospital care, but they will need some assistance. There aren't many facilities that provide assisted living units, but that's another area that ripe for exploiting the elderly.
