CURRENT FOCUS:

NO COUNTRY FOR OLD PEOPLE a Documentary: No Country for Old People is an amazing sorely-needed, long-awaited scorching documentary that should set the Long-Term Care Community, all Family Caregivers, Policy Makers, and the country ablaze. While chronicling the last 6 months of her mother’s life in a 5-star nursing home, a filmmaker captures proof that our Nursing Home system is broken. The system designed to protect our most vulnerable, has been flouted by venture capitalists and real estate investment trusts. Greed has caused millions of people insufferable consequences and even death and has done for decades, yet most people have no idea until it’s too late. No Country for Old People is a cautionary tale and a rally for change. I have partnered with former US Prosecutor and Attorney General, Rick Mountcastle (portrayed in the Hulu miniseries, “DOPESICK”), who spent years investigating and prosecuting nursing homes chains for fraud.  She has also attracted an impressive list of the most respected and staunch advocates to contribute to the film. The film is fiscally sponsored by The National Consumer Voice for Quality Long Term Care which provides them a 501(c)(3) status.
