On January 14th, 2009, the Motion Picture & Television Fund (MPTF), a 501(c)(3) charity whose motto is “Taking Care of Our Own,” took 100 elderly and infirm residents, their families and the entire Hollywood community by surprise when it announced the closure of their long-term care facility, also known as a nursing home.
This historic and vital facility has cared for many of Hollywood's greats, including Bud Abbott, Stanley Kramer, Larry Fine, Hattie McDaniel and many, many more. But now, the current generation of Hollywood heavyweights, such as Jeffrey Katzenberg, Frank Mancuso, Casey Wasserman and Hawk Koch, among others, have decided unilaterally to abandon this charity's stated mission to "take care of our own" and are evicting these seniors, subjecting them to deadly transfer trauma.
Many of the residents of this historic Home -- writers, directors, actors and craftspeople -- signed over their lives’ savings and assets with the promise that this Home would be where they lived out their remaining days, surrounded by the community of their peers.
Instead, they’re being subjected to the emotional and physical trauma of forced relocation. Melody Sherwood’s mother, Kay Meyer, 94, “is in a panic believing she’s going to be thrown out and can’t go back to her room because she personally owes 10 million dollars.” Continues Sherwood, “She always believed that this was going to be her Home for life.”

Charles Todd Lee spent a lifetime going backstage at concerts, following politicians on the campaign trail and capturing iconic shots of everyone from Martin Luther King Jr. to Mick Jagger to Mickey Mantle. Today, he enjoys such freedom only in his dreams.
The 67-year-old photographer has been confined to a nursing home for five years, the victim of a stroke that paralyzed his left side. And he's angry.
Most of the people come here to die, so you want to die," he said. "It is a prison. I can't escape it."
Lee is among the Medicaid recipients across Florida challenging the nightmare of the old and disabled: to be forced from comfort and familiarity into a nursing home.
They say the state is illegally forcing them to live in nursing homes when they should be able to live where they choose. Advocates charge that nursing homes, afraid of losing money, have successfully pressured politicians to make qualifying for community care more difficult. They have filed a federal lawsuit seeking class-action status on behalf of nearly 8,500 institutionalized Floridians.
