HOUSTON: Retirement communities and rest 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:
402: A woman was sentenced on Wednesday in Court on allegations she stole from a 96-year-old nursing home resident she was caring for at the skilled nursing home.
She will serve four to 23 1/2 months in jail and pay restitution for a charge of theft by unlawful taking.
