My name is a former employee at Atria Park of San Mateo, where I dedicated six years of my life. What I witnessed during my tenure was deeply disturbing - elder abuse and neglect that has been consistently overlooked. This is not just an isolated incident; it's a systemic issue that needs immediate attention.

Atria Park, like many other senior living facilities, should be a place where our elders are treated with dignity and respect. However, the reality is far from this ideal. The residents there have been subjected to conditions that no one should ever have to endure in their golden years.

According to the National Council on Aging, approximately 1 in 10 Americans aged 60+ have experienced some form of elder abuse. Some estimates range as high as 5 million elders who are abused each year (source: National Council on Aging). These statistics are alarming and unacceptable.

It's time we take action against such institutions who fail to provide adequate care for our elderly population. We must demand accountability from Atria Park of San Mateo for their negligence towards those they were entrusted to care for.

This petition seeks your support in demanding the closure of Atria Park in San Mateo due to its history of elder abuse and neglect. By signing this petition, you can help ensure that our seniors are protected from such mistreatment in future.

Please sign this petition today - let us stand together against elder abuse and neglect at Atria Park!
