As a family member of someone living at Huntington Place, I am beyond disappointed by what I have learned about the care being provided here. But honestly, what concerns me most is not just the individual incidents. It is the way serious concerns appear to be handled by leadership.<br><br>Since the current Executive Director came to Huntington Place in December 2025, there seems to be a recurring explanation whenever serious concerns are brought forward: “the company just switched.”<br><br>At what point does that stop being an explanation?<br><br>A change in ownership or management does not erase what residents and families are experiencing. It does not excuse neglect. It does not make reports of abuse less serious. And it certainly does not mean leadership gets to simply distance itself from problems happening under its watch.<br><br>What is especially concerning is hearing from staff about serious allegations involving employees while also seeing serious deficiencies documented by the state. For example, I was told by a staff member from the 3/4 building about allegations of abuse involving an employee and that she is reportedly restricted from working in one of the memory care buildings because of those concerns, while still remaining employed by Huntington Place. If that information is accurate, families deserve to know how those concerns were investigated and what protections are actually in place for residents.<br><br>Then there are the state’s own inspection findings. A state surveyor documented witnessing staff feed residents expired food. That isn’t a rumor from a disgruntled family member. That is something a state representative reportedly witnessed and documented.<br><br>There have also been concerns involving residents getting out of secured memory care areas, residents being left in soaked briefs, inadequate showers and hygiene, insufficient activities, staffing problems, and other failures in basic resident care.<br><br>And this is where I have a serious problem with the repeated “the company just switched” explanation.<br><br>If leadership inherited problems when they came in December 2025, then the responsibility should have been to identify those problems, correct them, and make sure they did not continue. Residents should not have to wait indefinitely for management to fix issues because the facility is going through a transition.<br><br>Families shouldn’t have to investigate these things ourselves. We shouldn’t have to hear about concerns from employees behind closed doors. We shouldn’t have to read state inspection reports to find out that residents were being exposed to unacceptable conditions.<br><br>Most importantly, vulnerable residents should never be put in a position where abuse, neglect, or poor care is minimized, excused, or allowed to become “just how things are.”<br><br>Leadership has a responsibility to protect residents and to take complaints seriously — not simply explain them away.<br><br>If Huntington Place truly wants families to trust that their loved ones are safe, then I believe that trust needs to be earned through transparency, accountability, and meaningful changes in resident care.<br><br>“The company just switched” cannot be the answer forever.<br><br>These are people’s parents, grandparents, spouses, and loved ones. They deserve better.
