DALLAS: 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:
310: A skilled nursing home worker was filmed twice shoving a man of 87 and calling the residents “f***ing vegetables”, a court heard. He was caught on a spy camera installed by the victim’s daughter.
The daughter worked in the home laundry to be nearer to her dad – who was not named – and acted after he began shouting and not wanting to be alone.
