The bad facilities can neglect and abuse someone in the span of about a month causing death or serious illness. The good ones have a better track record. It takes time to sort the good out from the bad. The bad facilities are under staffed, thus, patients are dying of neglect that leads to malnourishment and dehydration.

Yes, there are bad facilities, which is why families must take the time and make the effort to check out any facility they plan to use. That's just common sense.

In your earlier post, you didn't make any distinction. You just said that AL facilities have food worse than your dogs eat. That's not accurate at all. Some facilities may have poor food and services, but not all or even most of them.

I know this because my wife and I spent a couple of weeks checking such facilities out. Most were clean, well-staffed, and offered good food. That's in Minnesota, but I imagine it's the same in Florida. If all assisted living facilities in Florida are as bad as you describe, then Florida is a horrible place, and I know that not to be the case.
