    I cannot tell you how upset I was to read what I consider to be a very biased article, written by Isabelle T. Walker in the April 17th issue of the Independent [Senior Living Conflicts].

    My husband is the most senior resident at Senior Living Concepts and has been there since 1985. He had a massive cerebral hemorrhage at age 39 while playing basketball, leaving him totally paralyzed and unable to move anything but his head. In all of this time he has had excellent care and never even one bedsore. Of course the family is there a lot and in most places it’s family participation that is really needed. The aides are tremendous and do what I think is one of the most difficult jobs in the world. Things are not always perfect but nothing ever is.

    In my opinion your article was extremely biased because the only person the author talked to was Clint Baron, a man who has made mountains out of molehills ever since he has been there.
