Delve deeper into the reality of assisted living facilities: Are they truly fulfilling their commitments to resident care? Despite claims of 24-hour supervision and assistance, exercise programs, and wellness services, the landscape reveals a different story. From widespread understaffing to the prevalence of deceptive marketing tactics, the industry faces scrutiny for failing to deliver on its promises. Reports indicate a disturbing trend of facilities accepting residents with complex medical needs beyond their capabilities, driven by financial incentives and market pressures. As the number of seniors seeking assisted living continues to rise, it's imperative to address systemic issues to ensure our elders receive the quality care they deserve. This article sheds light on why legal action is not only necessary but vital in holding these facilities accountable and advocating for the well-being of our loved ones.

Car seat safety is so important. EMS runs clinics all over the USA. Here is an example of one such clinic. One important tip is not to let children eat in the car seat as the seat places them in an excellent position for a crash, but it leaves them in a head and neck forward position that increases the risk of choking. I've had many children who have choked on food in the car. First responders like police and fire crews have been critical in the response because they are located closer to the incident, or their vehicles allow for quicker access to the situation. On another note, I recommend that everyone is trained in the Heimlich maneuver, first aid, and CPR with AED training. Many communities are increasing access to AEDs throughout the community. AEDs are on fire apparatus, police vehicles, SROs (School Resources Officers), located with schools and within a certain distance from youth sporting events, grocery stores (some Meijer stores have them at the front of the store near the service desk), Meijer stores have them at the front of the store near the service desk—and other quick response zones. Some communities have a health granting body that helps provide the funding to purchase AEDs for their community and help fund the training of people to be the all-important life link in the survival chain. https://lnkd.in/gjSZ5m7m
