I just finished uploading all the assisted living facilities for Arizona and am currently working on North Carolina. Arizona was a big surprise with almost 2000 assisted living facilities. I think that California has almost 6000 facilities but currently I only have around 400. One I get all the California facilities including Los Angeles assisted living facilities entered, I will have over 12,000 facilities in the directory. Not Bad.
Most of the state governments have been good to work with. By the end of August, I must have every assisted living and Alzheimer's facility in Georgia. I am going home to meet with dad's facility manager and nurse so see if they can give him additional assistance. His mental condition seems to be changing rapidly as he reverts into a child. That is why I will need to have a complete list of dementia care facilities ready when the assisted living facility will no longer accept him. We are very thankful that he is happy in his dementia. So many seniors get angry, frustrated and mean. My dad is mostly sweet with an occasional bit of angry confusion. The nurses raided his apartment this week and took his bottle of vodka. The alcohol that destroyed his frontal lobe should be avoided but my dad's doctor (Dr. Tucker) is an idiot. He told my dad that it was OK for him to drink so he won't listen to anyone else. It really stinks when your parent doctor is actually doing damage. Anyways, this should be a big month for my dad and for the site so stay tuned.

California Trends For Seniors
California is the leading edge of the United States. With about 10% of the seniors in the country living in California, it is the state to look for future trends in assisted living and retirement living. California is driving the way for a better environment by forcing or working around our corrupt federal government by forcing better air quality down the throats of the lazy US automaker and hopefully they can do more to make life better in other areas. With the recent decline in the real estate market parts of California are becoming more affordable for seniors and that is a good thing. My hope is that California can address the lack of federal regulation over health care. If there is any thing that scares me, it is the future of health care. With the current trends, it looks some health care companies will only cover healthy people and only cover what they want to pay for. It is getting to be embarrassing to live in a country that does take care of it's seniors. With the 78 million baby boomers getting ready to tax our senior services, we are headed for a melt down.
OK, my rant is over. I feel a little better. So I am proud to release a new set of California assisted living facilities. Although I do not have all the facilities, this is a good update to the resources to California seniors. After researching Alzheimer's recently, I am planning on adding all the California memory care centers too. Alhtough my dad actually has frontal lobe dementia, our dealings with the doctors make is evident that his future is similar to that of an Alzheimer's patient. It is getting to the point where he will agree to do something and then almost immediately forget that he agreed if is not part of his normal operations.
Back to California, this is one of the only state that currently has a city released. Eventually the site plan is to release the top 200 or so cities that have a big senior population to support a separate page.
Thanks to everyone who has help grow assisted senior living and we hope it helps.
