COLLIERVILLE, Tenn. - Police said residents at a Collierville senior living facility were stolen from, rather than being taken care of. The culprit, they said, is executive director Timothy Johnson.
Now, family members of residents like Kevin Snider are speaking up.
"I would urge any resident, any family members of residents, start looking at things and look at them now and take action," Snider said.
Snider's mother was a resident at StoryPoint for three years.
He told FOX13 he wasn't shocked when he saw the facility's executive director had turned himself in earlier this month for stealing from residents.
"My first reaction is, 'Now it all makes sense,' because I could never figure out how a company so large would treat people the way they treated me and my mom, even after they were sued. And even knowing I'm a consumer protection trial attorney. And when I saw that, I was like, it would just mystify me. One, why you would pay a judgment, why you would settle another case so quickly of clearly, I mean, that indicates to me, as somebody in this profession that they know there's all kinds of things going on out there," Snider said.
Snider's mother wasn't directly stolen from, but he filed two lawsuits against StoryPoint.
One claimed it took money from his personal bank account, which he says it shouldn't have. He said they repaid that in full just before Christmas.
He filed another on behalf of his mother over discrepancies in her care.
He said the facility advertised as this as an assisted living facility, but he says the executive director admitted to him at one point that they didn't have the license for that.
"The fact that they settled it just before Christmas for $25,000 begs the question of they knew stuff was going on out there. I mean, very rarely do you file a lawsuit. And that was still in its early stages," Snider said.
Timothy Johnson is now out on a $20,000 bond.
After being asked for comment, StoryPoint Vice President of Marketing Irina Olgart sent the following statement: “Due to the active investigation into this matter, StoryPoint Collierville is unable to comment on the specific details. The safety, well-being, and peace of mind of our residents remain our top priority and the foundation of everything we do.”
