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:
191. A woman has appeared in court accused of mistreating a resident at a skilled nursing home. She has been charged with ill-treatment and neglect. Both offences are said to have happened in January.
Her case has been sent to court, where she will appear on September 28. She was released on bail.
