Tuesday, August 8th, 2006.
There are too many bad U.S. nursing homes and too few good ones.

“We have seen little evidence that the quality of care has improved much since the first list came out in 2000,” Charles Bell, programs director for Consumers Union, said at a Monday teleconference.
“John F. Kennedy said once that the strength and durability of a society can be judged by how it treats its elderly,” added Trudy Lieberman, director of Consumers Union’s Center for Consumer Health Choices. “In America today, we are not always treating our elderly very well.”
