SAN FRANCISCO: 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:
254. The manager of a skilled nursing home who fleeced a vulnerable resident out of his TV and car has been struck off the medical register.
In a police interview she admitted failing to safeguard the resident’s financial interests and acting inappropriately. She was convicted of two charges of fraud by abuse of position.
