LOS ANGELES: 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.
629: It is claimed that a nurse while working night shifts at a nursing home would routinely sleep for one to three hours, between 2am and 5am.
It is alleged that, during this time, she would insist that the lights in the staff room were turned off, the refrigerator unplugged and that no laundry be done.
