For-profit firms provide less in hospice care

1. Profit vs Non-Profit

I spent most of my life working in nursing homes and assisted-living care. I've worked for two for-profit corporate retirement companies, and two non-profit retirement centers. The experience is the same as what the Washington Posts reports about hospice care. The whole culture of the for-profit corporations was about minimizing costs and maximizing the bottom line. The culture of the non-profits I worked for was much more centered on quality care.
