For years, I've been getting up at 6:00 AM to do my laundry. I have to do it then, because it's nearly impossible to get a machine in the laundry room on my floor at any other time. The elderly residents' caretakers commandeer the laundry room during the days, and other residents commandeer it at night - one of them being the man who until recently was running up and down the hall.

There have been accusations that the caretakers are doing their own laundry, and this has been reported to the management, but with their typical aversion to any sort of involvement, they've simply said, "It's difficult to prove", and of course, nothing has been done.

It's actually against the rules to use the laundry room prior to 7:30 AM and they know I do it, but they won't say anything to me about it because then they'd have to address these other issues, and God knows they don't want to do that.

All these women do all day long is have meetings. It's unbelievable; whenever you go looking for one of them, she's in a meeting. I walk by the conference room, and I hear them in there, laughing and kibbitzing. It's a social gathering for them. They meet practically every day, yet nothing comes out of these meetings. No problems are solved, no issues are addressed. I have never seen anyone spend so much time engaging in meetings with an end result of doing so little.

Hebrew SeniorLife is nothing more than a cash cow for these people. They come to work, they socialize, they go home. The needs of the residents are of secondary importance, if they even make the list of priorities at all.

This is what the Jewish community of Boston has been subsidizing all these years. It is beyond time for something to be done about it. They take millions of dollars of your money every year, and they pay virtually no attention to your elderly mother or father. They simply don't care.

They've been pulling the wool over your eyes for decades.
