Government Standards

Government maintains industry leading standards which is reflected in the various reporting from the Seniors Advocate and others. Despite complaints that you may hear about government services and negative exceptions that arise for any population-scale operation, they are typically well-run. Private pay care solutions are not necessarily better. The answer is more complicated, situational and geographic.
