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:
314: A care worker sobbed in the dock as she was found guilty of slapping a man with dementia.
She hit the resident around the face several times and shook him by his jumper after he spilt a cup of tea on the floor.
The incident occurred in the dining room at the skilled nursing home.
