In addition to my post above, I have since written to three retirements homes I had considered (cash deposits at two) requesting specific financial information and related data and I also included a printed copy of the New York Times article…NONE have replied or even acknowledged my request. My next communication with these retirement homes (all big names) will be a request for the return of my deposit.
Stay tuned and I will disclose specifically “who” didn’t respond and/or comply.
