Very confusing. Assisted living and memory care facilities are not nursing homes. Most people who live in nursing homes are on Medicaid (almost 90 percent in the facilities I have visited). That is because, even if they had money when they went in, they have gone broke. The Government pays for most of the cost for nursing homes, and the facilities are only interested in meeting the minimum Government standards. So, they are usually not interested in making the residents comfortable, just making money. I don't see where this organization fits in to the Government nursing home system without a complete overhaul.
