Summary
Elderly residents often do not receive necessary medications due to misinterpretation of prescriptions and lack of proper monitoring in assisted living facilities. This leads to severe health risks and emotional distress for families who worry about their loved ones' well-being. The reliance on staff to report health issues is flawed, as many seniors may not remember their medical needs or be able to communicate them effectively.
