LAS VEGAS: 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:
163. A 79-year-old man has been remanded in custody after allegedly trying to kill a fellow resident at a skilled nursing home.
He was charged with attempted murder over a fight at a skilled nursing home on Monday that left a 76-year-old with wounds to his face and neck. He made no application for bail when he appeared in court.
