Entertainment Home Cleared

The California Department of Public Health has determined claims that the Motion Picture & Television Fund illegally evicted its nursing home residents were unsubstantiated. The department reversed its previous statement of deficiency against the nonprofit organization, which was accused of failing to provide 30-day notice of transfer to its long-term care residents. “The rush to judgment on this matter has been simply wrong, and, as it turns out, unnecessarily and unfortunately created a negative and potentially damaging impression,” said Bob Pisano, chairman of the organization’s board of directors. “The conclusion drawn by many – that we lawlessly evicted our residents – is untrue on both counts.”
