In 2003, 31 residents died in nursing home fire in Hartford, CT, & Nashville, TN.

The GAO was asked to report on: (1) the rationale for not requiring all homes to be sprinkled, (2) the adequacy of federal fire safety standards for nursing homes that lack automatic sprinklers, & (3) the effectiveness of state & federal oversight of nursing home fire safety. GAO makes several recommendations to the Administration of CMS. Charts & tables.

She's been a victim of circumstance, a prisoner bound to the home, forced to care for failing parents, forced to witness their demise while subjugated by the abusive control of their eldest sister, Carrie. Ever wary of Matthew, Salena responds cautiously, yet almost defiantly. However, she needs him to aid her in her struggle with Carrie. Matthew must come to understand his own role in this dysfunctional family's structure. He stays to aid Salena and to seek reparations for his own personal, longstanding battle with Carrie.
