PBS Frontline Airs ‘Life and Death in Assisted Living’ on July 30

On Tuesday, July 30th, PBS’s Frontline will air “Life and Death in Assisted Living,” a behind-the-scenes look into the assisted living industry. 

With more and more elderly choosing to spend their final years in assisted living facilities rather than nursing homes, this loosely regulated, multi-billion dollar industry may be putting our seniors at risk.  Frontline, along with ProPublica, will examine the operations of America’s largest assisted living company and raise questions concerning their drive for profits and lapses in care.  Watch online or on air beginning July 30, 2013.
