How about some data on young people with disabilities (under the age of 64) in senior nursing facilities? This is a social issue rarely covered.

this list seems nothing more than medicare.gov's listing and categorization of nursing homes. The ratings /no. of stars are EXTREMELY unreliable and not very indicative of the actual quality. Also, their list is only for medicare/medicaid homes and many are not listed. Take with the whole salt shaker.

My father was in a nursing home/assited living facility in Coeur D'Alene. I could not find it in your rates. It seems that only sponsored facilities are included. I do not find this to be very accurate reporting. Actually it seems to be more advertisement that reporting. This kind of shoddy journalism taints your entire magazine production.
