Your point is well taken regarding focusing on the people—both residents and staff. I’ve known both Jon and Darrell since they were in grade school and it’s sad to witness their preoccupation with expansion at any cost. They made calculated decisions to pursue the bottom line at the expense of quality of services. Don’t feel too sorry for Jon. At a hearing in Portland yesterday it was revealed that Jon is being paid $54,000 monthly by the management company retained to turn around SunWest. This is after Jon resigned as CEO.Good point! Often developers start from the point of wanting to do something significant for elderly then become enamored with the rush of new development...losing sight of the people. It would be nice if we could learn from this and avoid these mistakes in the future, but history doesn't show that we learn very well.
Thanks for your participation in the conversation, Duane!
