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:
457: A certified nurse’s assistant pleaded not guilty to a charge of assault and battery on a person over 60 years of age with a disability. The care assistant told police that the patient was acting aggressively while he was caring for him and that he had to restrain the patient’s arms to avoid being hit, according to the police report.
