Members of the Entertainment Industry and other concerned citizens demand that the Motion Picture Television Fund Board of Directors immediately reverse its decision to close the MPTF long-term care facility before more elderly lives are lost to the stress and trauma of forced eviction.
We, the undersigned concerned citizens and members of the Entertainment Industry, strongly urge you to IMMEDIATELY REVERSE YOUR DECISION TO CLOSE THE LONG-TERM CARE FACILITY AT THE MOTION PICTURE TELEVISION HOME.
Many industry workers have contributed to the MPTF throughout their careers with the expectation that this all-important safety net would remain in place and it's now 88-year-old mission of "Taking Care of Our Own" would continue as promised for our generation and those that follow.
We are also concerned about the adverse effects this threatened closure is having on the elderly residents of this nursing home and their families -- including the INCREASED DEATH RATE of both residents and transferees.
Please, it's not too late. for the sake of these elderly residents' lives and those who will need this facility in the future, KEEP THE MPTF NURSING HOME OPEN!

Every union "takes care of its own." That we are not doing that by closing this facility is horrific to me. Many people do not have the money or the heirs who can help. Keep this facility open, please.

While I hope it's many years away, I have often thought this is where I will spend the end of my life (especially since I do not have immediate family in CA). It is shameful that we might lose this benefit and the care provided! And, it saddens me for the folks who need this care NOW!

My great-aunt was a resident of the LTC facility and is now at the Villa on the MPTF campus. What happens if she needs LTC again later? Will it be there for her? This is her home and she is very happy and well cared for. Keep it open and honor the promise.

Who else is going to care of our own? Of you, your friends, your family, your co-workers, mentors etc. in this industry. We network because we are a community. This effects ALL of us in some way or another! Please re-think your decision.

I am a union member and have worked very hard and hopefully will have the opprotunity to obtain the long term facility care benefits. I only have 3 more years and I will have earned that priviledge. I don't want it taken away from me...especially after I have worked so hard in this industry to earn it. The powers that be of the Motion Picture Home should be extremely ashamed of their actions and attitude towards the people that are there and the people that are working to earn the right to be there. I am all for a major house cleaning...more of the big wigs need to resign. We can save money and budget wisely without hurting people in the process.

Taking care of our own is supposed to mean just that. People have signed over their estates expecting reliable care in return.
