Golden Hill is a much needed nursing home and we all must work together in supporting the need to save it! WE MUST NOT LET STEVE AARON near that facility for he will destroy the richness of the quality care and compassion that makes it a home for our elder loved ones. Before allowing him to even be considered try asking us who live in his complex's how terrified we are when he steps foot on the property! He does not care for us just raising our rents and taking away the ammenities he claimed to give us when he convinced us to move in!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-4305076655689808482010-12-11T16:39:09.414-05:002010-12-11T16:39:09.414-05:00Mike your comment are wrong!

Most where basic maintenance upkeep! That is why we must 40 to 60 million to repair the building! I state once again have we spent the money needed to maintain the building! The answer is NO! The numbers you used are the numbers I collected. I knew what I was saying. I also ask you to go thru and look at past capital project request! And you will see why I came up with my opinion. This is also backed by professional that gave us there expert advice! <br /><br />Walter FreyWalter Freynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-78752945475855387392010-10-26T17:35:55.677-04:002010-10-26T17:35:55.677-04:00Do my eyes deceive me?

The issue is, just as Mike has expressed it, whether to provide care first for nursing home residents as opposed to the maybe care they might receive in a private nursing home. That's the reality and ask yourself if you want yourself or a loved one to undergo the private or public option. It's a no brainer. <br /> Furthermore, most folks are going to be eligible for nursing home care in the not too distant future. As such talk about the demographics and politics of that. Yowsa!<br /> Great job, Mike. You almost make up for the fact that most people must rely on Ira Fussyfeld's disaster of a rag to tell the complete story--and sometimes ANY story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24135583.post-59274830528960732102010-10-21T07:18:27.021-04:002010-10-21T07:18:27.021-04:00Golden Hill has provided quality services for &quo...Golden Hill has provided quality services for "usually politically selected" residents at no direct costs to their families who got to keep their assets.
