The book is a personal account of unmet needs in assisted living and hospice aiming to spark discussions about new approaches for Americaâ s aging population and family decision makers. There are 30 thousand assisted living facilities in the US, but most are unaffordable for middleclass Americans and fraught with staffing deficiencies and mismanagement.
