Weak Laws Let Deficient Facilities Stay Open: Demand for Assisted Living Care Pushes Virginia to Emphasize Improvement, Not Punishment

Date: May 26, 2004
Author: David S. Fallis
QUOTE: As the assisted living industry has mushroomed, taking in sicker residents with a wider range of disabilities, state regulators have struggled to maintain their control.

ABSTRACT: Many assisted living facilities throughout the country have come under threat of closing due unsanitary conditions, endangering and lack of giving sufficient care to patients. But weak laws have allowed many of these facilities to remain open.
