SAN DIEGO: 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:
216. A former manager at a nursing home who forced a resident to eat Marmite sandwiches has been struck off.
She worked for 18 years until January last year at the nursing home which looks after adults with learning difficulties.
She has now been struck off and she will not be able to apply to practise again for at least five years.
