Assisted Livings residents need help

Medicare doesn't include Assisted Livings, even if residents have Dementia or other diseases, as nursing homes do

Many people in Assisted Livings are there because they have Dementia and other diseases, but their rent and care costs are not covered by Medicare in Assisted Livings. I hope something can be done about that.
