SAN JOSE: 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:
194. A 25-year-old woman has been charged with a further offence of sexual assault at a residential skilled nursing home.
She is currently remanded in prison charged with four counts of sexual assault relating to two elderly women at the home between January 1, 2014 and May 10, 2015.
