Safety inside nursing homes and assisted living leads today's news. In Rochester, New York, police say a patient died after falling from a nursing home window. A separate report about the Waterview Heights closure says families believe warning signs were ignored for years. These stories raise hard questions about how well residents are being protected.

Fire safety is also in the spotlight. More than 100 residents had to leave a St. Johns assisted living facility after a fire, and another Florida facility needs repairs after a possible lightning strike. In Daytona Beach, a nursing home was allowed to keep some windows screwed shut following a fire marshal review.

There is money and policy news too. A new survey suggests some Medicare beneficiaries are paying more for price-negotiated drugs, and lawmakers introduced a bill to add a home care benefit to Medicare. A report also ranked Louisiana last in the nation for nursing home care quality.
