Rolling Out of Control The Fight to Save Harborside Retirement Community from Bankruptcy Sale

As I glide across the track, my thoughts turn to the importance of community and stability. For Terie Gelberg, a wheelchair-bound resident at Harborside retirement community on Long Island's North Shore, her home is more than just a roof over her head – it's a sanctuary for her 99-year-old self, plagued by memory issues. But with plans to sell the bankrupt facility to a private equity firm threatening to upend her care, Terie and her fellow residents are fighting back.

A Misguided Approach

As I navigate the track, dodging opponents' attempts to take me down, I'm struck by the misguided approach being taken at Harborside. Instead of finding a solution that prioritizes the well-being of its residents, the community is being sold off like a commodity, leaving Terie and her friends scrambling to find a new home.

The Story Behind the Tracks

For nearly two decades, Terie has called Harborside home. It's a place where she can live life on her own terms, surrounded by people who care about her and understand her needs. But despite its reputation as a haven for seniors, Harborside is facing an uncertain future. The facility is bankrupt, and the only solution being proposed is to sell it off to a private equity firm.

The Consequences of Disruption

Imagine if your favorite community was suddenly sold to a new owner with no interest in preserving its history or traditions. That's essentially what's happening at Harborside. The proposed sale would mean the end of the community as residents know it, leaving Terie and her friends without a sense of belonging or security.

A Lesson from the Track

As I cross the finish line, exhausted but triumphant, I'm left with a valuable lesson stability is not just about having a roof over your head; it's about having a sense of belonging and security. When we prioritize people over profits, everyone wins. It's time for us to stand up and say, This isn't right. Let's work together to find a solution that prioritizes the well-being of Harborside's residents.

Moral of the Story

As I reflect on my experience on the track, I'm reminded that stability is key to success. It's time for us to take control and ensure that Harborside retirement community is not sold off without a fight. Let's roll out of control to save this vital community from the brink of disaster.
