I don’t think the death rate in assisted care and nursing facilities is especially high or I’d be seeing a lot more ads from retirement homes seeking to fill empty rooms. In fact, I haven’t seen any lately. Maybe there is another reason for the lack of advertising but I don’t know what it is.
There’s a lot of assisted care facilities advertising here in Coeur d’Alene, but there always is. I haven’t seen an uptick. Two of the facilities nearby have major expansion construction projects underway right now, so they are no doubt eager to get residents as soon as the jobs are completed.
