Why We Voluntary Blue Ribbon Industry Standards: Sunrise Assisted Living Attacked ProPublica Style - Senior Living Industry Information & Commentary:   February 26, 2014 by Steve Moran



Steve's recommended  Gold Standard


He is convinced that ALFA, LeadingAge and AHCA need to convene a blue
ribbon panel of large, medium and small operators to create some
guidelines (maybe even a certification process like The Eden Alternative
has) for assisted living.  It should include things like:


  • Initial training
  • On-going training
  • Staffing ratios
  • Medication guidelines
  • Satisfaction surveys
  • Emergency call response times
<If the> industry are unwilling to do this you can be sure there
will be more lawsuits, more regulations and the whole industry will be
damaged.
