a financial guru to realize our nation's economy is in a funk. A
mortgage-market meltdown and credit tightening are being blamed for sending
Wall Street (and perhaps, the world's economy) into convulsions. Many are wondering

will continue to be challenging times. But despite such challenges, vendors
remain bullish about this market. If feedback from the AHCA and AAHSA show can
be believed, this field remains remarkably robust and attractive. That is
certainly no guarantee going forward. But for now, the long-term care field
appears to be more than holding its own.
