HOUSTON: 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:
456: A skilled nursing home has been placed into “special measures” after it was deemed to be “inadequate” in all areas by the health watchdog.
One resident allegedly went nine months without being bathed, while bins were left overflowing and “bad odours” filled the skilled nursing home.
