It seems all states, want to take money from services that serve our elders and their families.

Great points regarding DHHS, again, similar problems in other states with they manner in which they include companies (through their bidding process) and then not having methods to follow up to ensure that the care provided is not only excellent, but one that ensures the overall safety of the senior.

Would love to speak with you personally, as there is a method in place right now, that would solve many of the problems you speak of - without using tax dollars. How do I get in touch with you to share this?
