text: Let's get one thing straight.  Medicaid assisted living fraud can't possibly happen IF the DHS Medicaid office was doing their job.  Secondly, the state of Alaska is handing out far too many assisted living Medicaid billing licenses like cotton candy.  There's a lot of assisted living facilities, 500, that are in the business solely for the money and to hell with the vulnerable elderly who are trapped with debilitating diseases.  There's people operating assisted living facilities and using the elderly to buy themselves real estate housing, but using the elderly as a cover.  The state of Alaska ought to  be a shamed of themselves for allowing these assisted living  sharks to prey on the elderly.  The governor's office needs to conduct an investigation and start closing down some of these facilities.  A lot of these so-called assisted living facilities house 6 clients and only hire one caregiver as a 24 hour live-in.  Theres no way one caregiver can take care of these people.
