- More than 100 local senior citizens are scrambling to find new homes after their senior living facility declared bankruptcy. The ABC Action News I-Team has uncovered financial troubles at the facility date back years and some of the residents being kicked out invested hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The management/owners should be arrested/sued for criminal behavior. This is outright stealing money from seniors!
they are protected by bankruptcy laws. Nothing the legal system can do.
fraud???
i couldn't watch this whole video, but i bet the owners are going to use this place to house illegal immigrants and will be paid handsomely by the government to do so...Most illegal migrants are getting literally everything for free now, and tons more are coming because of everything they are offered, while US citizens don't get this stuff...
most of the owners of these places are Indians from India, they take the money and run. people in the states are stewpid for letting foreigners into the country, same in England, they open business, make a ton of money and leave the country. Happened where I live. There is very little regulation on assisted living facilities.
Care is expensive. What do you expect?
Pocketed all those entrance fees and knew they were insolvent. Terrible thing to do to seniors.
Incredible. Knowing full well they were going to close. Hopefully someone pays a heavy price for their negligence. 😢
It's terrible to do to anyone.
Anyone who pays an “entrance fee” is a fool.
Yep. Bankruptcies are not fast. They outright swindled these people.
most of the folks that own these companies are Indians or others from over seas, they take the money and run
Somebody got rich off of this. Where is our judicial system now?
They're allowing it. They're allowing mergers/acquistions when the two companies computer systems can't even "speak" to each other. Still going on. These buildings are crap construction, managed by idiots, run by morons, with no oversight.
They don’t care 😭. This is awful!
They’re probably the owners of this building! or should I say the scammers in bed with the politicians?
To busy going interfering in the election.
Remember less government, less regulation and less taxes mantra ? Florida is a business friendly state.
They had to pay $100,000 a few months ago and are now being kicked out? That is theft and there should be legal action and jail time.
Seniors are the fastest growing category of homeless.
Yeah, I'm noticing that. It's pure evil.
SO WRONG!! THESE PEOPLE BUILT OUR TOWNS. WORKED HARD FOR WAGES THAT IS WHAT SOCIAL SECURITY IS BASED ON.,.
PITIFUL DISPLAY OF AMERICAN GREED. SHAME!
Why though? By the time you're a senior you should own your home and be financially set. If these elderly have children shame on the children. Always if able take care of your parents
@@candicavasos4866 This is not the reality in the US. Sorry.
@@ShirlBussman I'm so sorry your children treat you this way. I'm not old enough yet to test my children. But I will say the home and financial means that are in our trust can magically disappear. I hope the best for you my heart also hurts for you.
Extortion not bankruptcy...
Exactly!!!! I wholeheartedly agree. Demonic people!!!!!!! Be blessed and balanced my brothers and sisters!! Ace B. Bmore
That should be a crime for them to accept their money, knowing they are going into bankruptcy
It is a crime!
This is capitalism at work.
@courtneesdad
So is it a crime for a government to keep on borrowing huge amount of money to give to another country with debt in interest rate escalating exponentially ( increasing by about $1 trillion every 100 days) knowing that bankruptcy is inevitable?
My landlord did the same. But mine is not a senior facility. Turned out my landlord had been pocketing the rent money and not paying the mortgage for 2 bldgs. And they didn't bother to tell us the renters were young to be evicted. Thank goodness I got in contact with my local councilman's office and have proof my bldg is a rent stabilized so I don't have to leave. But I know I can't live here forever bc the bank wants to sell the bldg but they can't sell when there's tenants. It's just my neighbor and me now. Im stilled worried about being homeless
This is American no one is safe.
plz sue the company for misuseing the money of the elderly people im shocked im so very mad
Tell me how you were going to sue a company that went bankrupt
it was for years up to $500 million let me know something its on file so tell me
Sue the managers and owners, not the company.
Seniors make these companies show their books before committing and paying your money.
@@talibahonyebuchi9980wtf is that supposed to mean?
The people who got rich off of this place, over the years, need to have their assets seized and sold - houses, cars, furniture, jewelry, stocks, bonds...everything, every nickel. Bastards.
Yes, and those in charge / in the know, need to do some jail time.
PREACH
absolutely 💯 %
The correct term is abuse of a at risk vulnerable person for economic gain..
Every single person being evicted should hire an attorney and sue Unisen together. 💙💙💙
$100k to move in? say scam without saying scam
That was the norm in high end retirement homes even back 20 yrs ago.
@@julielindsey6984 scam
This is fraud. Needs to be investigated. Owners raided the till and threw the residents under the bus. 😡
🎯🎯🎯
This is why we chose to keep our 80 something mother with us even if not easy or entirely ideal. At least she is safe and taken care of.
I'm with you on that the money they paid out they could have built a tiny house in their backyard for their parents I wouldn't trust those types of places anyway
The unanswered question is where did the money go???
How is it non-profit if they charge 100k as a move in fee? 😮
Non-profit means they pay no dividends and technically no one owns it. Thus control can be easily hijacked if people with nefarious intensions are let in onto the board, Project Veritas for example. Does not mean that money cannot be funneled out though. For example paying exorbitant salaries, making overpriced purchases or underpriced sales from/to management associated for profit business. Giving loans with no intention to be paid back. What non-profit does not mean is them doing stuff for free, rather it's about not paying taxes usual business do. They of course they may provide free stuff but it has nothing to do with non-profit status as such.
That money may buy a guarantee that the resident will be allowed to transition into the facility’s memory care unit if they develop dementia.
Not for profits usually offer home for life with entry fee. Mismanagement, bad financial decisions, etc. Means nothing now. Your'e out. Terrible. 😥
Non profits can make money/profit. Look at shady Goodwill.
$75K entrance fee? Thats the scam right there
"it was with their best interest we pursued bankruptcy" what a load of 💩💩
Exactly! It was in the owner's best interest. Damn bandits!
An ENTRANCE FEE? My mother is in an Assisted living facility, it is $4500/month. I cannot BELIEVE ENTRANCE fees are permittable by law.
I know right? I’m a secret shopper for these places. Only ONE I’ve shopped had this stupid “entrance fee”
@kbail9806 Arizona. They do charge for stuffclime haircuts. We take mom out to get what she needs done.
In Canada, it's $1400 a month with 1 meal included and zero entrance fee! I bet it's way better in Europe too. The USA IS A SCAM.
Criminal charges have to be filed.
Here in America, Senior facility is so expensive and booming business for big corporations.
It's about the "Meat and the Money" hot human beings.
This is wrong! The bankruptcy court should put the property into receivership and appoint a trustee.
We should all be ashamed of ourselves for the way senior citizens are treated in our culture..
Yes. Definitely.
Children and parents should be together.. like in most asian countries.
You should be ashamed the way your treat everyone. GoFundMe is not a healthcare system.
You fork out a hundred grand, pay for your move, purchase a few upgrades for the new pad, then WHAM, your evicted. I hope some lawyers can help them get alot of it back, there had to be an expectation of living there long term.
I agree with you because I am a qualified lesbian
@ijustdidahugeshit I see you comment this everywhere, you must really want to be a lesbian.
@@ijustdidahugeshit I am a long-standing member of the Jill Johnston Society.
Anyone who pays this scam called the entrance fee is a fool.
@@maxalberts2003 I am a woman
I used to work here way back in 1996. I started off in food service then moved into the maintenance department. I met my girlfriend here as well who later became my wife, she worked in HR. We loved the residents and always made sure they were taken care of. They sure did get the very best menu items breakfast, lunch, and dinner too.
I'm sorry to see this place go under like this, so many great memories.
Side note:
I hope my mind is as sharp as the couple in this video once I reach 91.
Criminal charges need to land in the manager & owners laps.
This is happening to seniors all across the USA.
Source??
@@gasmith7486 Are you serious? Look around.
Just another example of how at any age, you can end up homeless *through no fault of your own.*
"I've been kicked out of my home, through no fault of my own."
Their mistake was going to a place requiring an entrance fee. Most don’t. That is their fault.
Not where I live. Eviction illegal after age 70.
What do you want to bet that these units come back as high priced non-rent controlled apartments
Exactly what I was thinking. Slap a coat of paint on the walls and call it “high end luxury”
only demons would treat people like this
No oversight of these homes for the elderly? What a shame for these people. 😢
The government don't care 😡
As long as they get their cut they couldn't care less..
Sheesh. It seems better and cheaper to just stay in the home you are comfortable in (and is probably paid off) and just pay someone to check on you every day when your kids can't.
Sounds like the whole thing has been a scam all along. This is terrible. The building should be taken from the owner by the courts and given in shares to the residents.
This is my wife and I bigest fears, we are in are 70s
Getting close. Husband 70 in a few months. Renovating our retirement home to stay as long as possible. Doing the work ourselves. We replaced the tub with a walk in shower with a bar and a seat built in last year.
We have a ramp.
Faucet handles that are easy to grip.
It has a downstairs room that can become a bedroom and the main bathroom is on the main floor.
We do not have money for a fancy retirement home. And in Canada, even if you do, under Herr Trudulf and the New Nazi Liberal party of Canada, they must feed you by the Death Canada food guidelines. Speed up the dementia and other issues to kill you faster. High carb and machine lubricant diet.
Do not spend your days fearing tomorrow.tomorrow is not promised 🐝
How can they say declaring bankruptcy is in the best interests of their residents??? Criminal
Corporations are like children with their hands in coookies jars without adult supervision and punishment.
No, they're like Anthony Fremont in the Twilight Zone.
How about the elderly senior citizens who don't have the backing or support system, finances or health to chop, change, and relocate?
Wow 😮I never knew Florida had so many crooks in business.😟
I know. Florida is corrupt
Are you kidding me? Florida grows criminals like oranges.
@@maxalberts2003 Poetically put. Presented piquantly.
The greatest density of crooks exists in DC.
@@maxalberts2003Oh really? Crooks are EVERYWHERE my genius.
If they take the $25K they could lose any recourse to a judicial hearing. This is a lost for most of these folks. They don’t have the energy, and will to fight. Many won’t live to see any remedy. I speak from a family experience.
They knew it was in trouble, but took their money anyway.
Exactly.
$75,000 Entrance fee to move in yet they've no money left someone needs to do a check into this something doesn't seem right with this story someone pocketing the money scammed this poor senior out of there money this what I hate about apartment complex rather senior or not there always that one apple that ruins it for all. What crazy is they didn't even let senior citizen know the first time the compnay filed for bankruptcy.
I feel sorry for the residents. This happened to my Aunt who lived in an assisted living facility in San Pablo, CA. The rents are too high for seniors on a fixed income, and it's not the healthiest thing for seniors to move frequently.
Yeah at some point seniors will have to accept they are being priced out in the coastal states and need to move further inland.
@@MA-mh1vsmany Americans are retiring overseas, like Portugal.
@@llw2606 I have seen some news coverage on that. I think Greece is another place people are going to.
The government is getting rid of its seniors because we are non productive due to retirement! I’ve been saying and I’ll keep saying it! 👎💯😭
They need that social security to fund wars and illegals.
You are absolutely correct. Also noticed the older you get the less doctors listen to you.

BINGO
That's sad. Hope there's someplace that can accommodate them.
This is the future you left for your children. Thanks.
no one left a lot of us anything either.
Gosh knows what life will be like when I am their ages and have to deal with crap like this. I hope not but I wouldn't be surprised. My life has always been rough except for nearly ten years. Rough, as in difficult to deal with idiotic people. I feel for these seniors.
Bet the company got tons of money from government.
These are our most vulnerable citizens! How vile of Unison. 😡
Sad.They knew before taking their money.
This is messed up, sending my love and prayers to all of them to find somewhere to live.
What kind of society allows this to happen to the most vulnerable population. Its just cruel.
America has always been like this..Don't get married, Don't get sick and Don't get old in America and you will do ok. It is a parasite society in essence!!
Greed , one of 7 deadly Sins , people stealing your money ,
Who pays $100k to move into an apartment? 🤯
Who pays $100K to live on street?
They were sold on more than just housing. In addition, they're supposed to receive care. How did that fly over your head?
Its assisted living fir seniors , not a regular apt.
It's called "Continuity of Care" and it's a popular model in senior living facilities. Supposedly they guarantee that they'll care for you even as your needs increase. I won't move into senior apartments with this model---not all places require that up-front payment. And this case shows what can go wrong.
Only a fool. I secret shop these places and of all the facilities I’ve visited only ONE charged this “entrance fee”
I wanted to ask, “FOR WHAT?” but since I was secret shopping (not really looking for a place) I had to hold my tongue.
How many seniors in America have $100k - 1 million to move into Senior Living Centers? How many are now homeless?
How many still live at home with family caring for them is a better question. How many still care for themselves is even better.
Certain cultures throw away old people. Where I'm from there's no such thing as nursing homes.
@@lisabrightly Family caring stopped decades ago because of our economics, both parents working. Most seniors that have reached the age of needing medical help if lucky sell their home to afford moving in $, then they struggle with the monthly cost. My parents (90’s) sold home gave it to senior center, but us 4 children (60’s &70’s) now pay the $9,000 monthly fee.
I worked there for two years, it was such an amazing place for seniors to retire. This is such a shame.
Must have gotten bought out. Normally, you see these sudden decline in quality when this is the case.
🤦♀️🤦♀️😪 So tired of hearing how so many Americans are being displaced, starving, homeless, jobless, and taxed. When will things get better for all Americans?
When we get the population under control
This is sooo wrong that our country is allowing this👹
This country is not kid to the elderly.

Dang I’m saddened. I’m sorry to the elderly of that complex
The fleecing of senior citizens is happening allot. Ijust got robbed for over $10,000. by Subaru.
Because you’re DUMB!
Go to the Attorney General office of your state. File a formal complaint.
It's easy for these people in charge to make their " blanket condescending " statements. They aren't being put out. Screw them. Where are the CEO's, treasurers, owners, book keepers ????? How much are they making ??? Anyone investigating them ???
This is why we need a national pension/retirement plan. Trusting a company with this is criminal.
as a senior i would never pay more then a security deposit to move into one of those dumps, the kids should have talked their parents out of going there and helped them to try and remain in their home for the next few years they have left
They needed a reverse mortgage on their home.
Outrageous
This is horriffic for this couple especially after paying $100,000.00 'entry' fee!!!
it’s despicable, what does corporation or company did to these elderly people. Don’t people have any more morals before people move into places like this then they gonna have to start checking into the financial backgrounds of said companies, so you don’t lose your money. It’s awful. I’ll be praying for all these poor elderly people.
"The invisible hand of the marketplace"
What a nightmare for these people. What about the residents without family to help them find a new place and help them move? Something this socially, emotionally and financially disruptive can tip a senior into dementia- I’ve seen this happen before.
Cruel & evil. Did'nt happen over night.
The statement by the company is outrageous and deceitful. 😡
Someone got rich
Greed pandemic doesn't even spare our seniors
Elder abuse. The taxpayers pick up the bill. So, I'm very sorry for these seniors. Unacceptable.
So in other words they're gonna get us a small percentage of their own money back
so, they didnt try to sell the place or anything?
THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. SOMEONE NEEDS TO REGULATE WHAT PEOPLE ARE DOING WITH OTHER PEOPLES MONEY. MANAGERS NEED TO GO TO PRISON.
This is beyond EVIL!!! UNISON KNEW that they were going bankrupt while they were taking these people's money. If they can't pay their money back, put them in jail. This makes me sick!!!
Why doesn't the state take receivership and run the place, and keep it open? It was wrong of the owners to take money knowing they had too much debt.
Socialism in Florida does not fly.
The executives of this company should be held accountable for mismanagement
Bastards knew they were going to file bankruptcy.
So incredibly happy I fought to keep my parents in their home. Where they are currently getting in home care and feel safe and secure. 🙏
Stay in your house. Get a reverse mortgage with HUD.
Now you know Why people go Homeless.
Going to take away their tent and restroom ?
Entrance fee??? Insane. I would never pay up front for anything. Why would anyone pay out that much money up front?
Because they’re dumb!!!
This just happened in STL. Back in December they closed the largest facility in the area. 178 residents were displaced.
taking advantage of the elderly, I wonder how many casino cruises and vacation junkets were funded by the money that was supposed to be used to maintain the facility and the mortgage.
one more thing, I hope someone told these folks to sign NOTHING without passing through a lawyer or two first.
And a CPA!
bankrupt or not those people that just moved in should get their money back. and that gentleman that paid 82k for an assisted living should get his money back what crooks,
And no one will be charged . I'm a disabled 57 yr old and I have had to move 5× since 2019 . Terrifying story , feel soooo bad for those that got scr@wed .
Come across the border in Texas - Everything Is Free
The first responsibility of government is to protect its citizens from crime, unsafe products, and unscrupulous business practices. Financial exploitation of elderly and disabled adults is a felony, and a conviction should always result in prison time. If the defendant caused the victim to lose more than $50,000, then these people should get the maximum penalty , which is 30 years in prison. plus financial reparations.
Took 6 figures and only giving $25k to move....This is sad all the way.
Instead of sending billions to Israel, can we use some of that money to take care of our seniors at home who have worked, contributed to society, and raised the next generation for our economy throughout their lifetime? Make it make sense!
We can't take care of our own....yet....Billions for illegals, and to most every freakin' country in the world....not just Isreal !
Because Joe won’t get his kickback. That’s why!!
How about the government stop giving illegals free housing and food? That makes more sense.
CRIMINAL ! ! WHY DO OUR SENIORS HAVE TO GO THRU THIS ? 😡😡😡
Honestly? Many of them voted for exactly this. They just never imagined it would affect them.
A hotel operator told me how bankruptcy works on a hotel. Nerish Patel was his name. First the owner makes a large cash deposit at local bank then a loan is secured at the same local bank under threat of withdrawal of the large cash deposit. Creditors and contractors are maxed out all cash is kept separate and paid to a parent organization or subsidiary and then after some time bankruptcy is declared leaving and creditors hold the loss and the owner flush with tax free cash from a loan and other non taxable incomes. It a legal racket and there is nothing you can do about it.
what happens to the 100K they put down? I'm guessing they will join the list of creditors
These places are heinous in all states. In Greenville, SC several places require $600,000 down to move in! Just taking advantage of the a vulnerable population. These people need to bring a class action suit and stay put.
I can’t 🤦🏼♀️ what are we doing to ourselves in this world?
Vultures still took their money, knowing full well they were bankrupt!! The crimes against seniors is unforgivable!
Apparently these folks all had money to get into this place! What a mess.
I wouldn’t be pissed off about having to move again. I’d be pissed off that I lost 100 grand.
They did it to themselves. Only about 1% of these places require a large entrance fee.
