DENVER: Retirement communities and skilled nursing homes imply a level of elevated safety in their commercial pitch to prospective customers.
But evidence is mounting that age-apartheid compounds are increasingly becoming soft crime targets and the care sector is trashing its reputation by doing nothing to effectively counter the growing threat:
117. A care worker sexually assaulted two women at a residential home, a court has heard. The carer pleaded guilty to four counts of sexual assault between January 1, 2014 and May 5 this year.
The court heard one of her victims has since died. A judge remanded her into custody until she is sentenced on a date which is yet to be fixed.
