Regulation and support of Virginia’s assisted living facilities will be upgraded with Governor Warner’s signature on recently passed legislation, according to the Washington Post. The Post had previously reported on poor conditions and lax oversight.
This is definitely a step in the right direction, but one thing is missing. Many small assisted living facilities have business problems as much as they have care issues. Virginia offers more business support to companies that want to sell toilet paper to the state than to facilities serving indigent citizens.
