DALLAS: Retirement communities and skilled nursing homes imply a level of elevated safety in their commercial pitch to prospective customers.

371: A vulnerable grandfather died after he was attacked so severely in his skilled nursing home that his liver “almost split in two”, an inquest heard.
The type of injuries he suffered were said to most likely have been caused by one blow, either someone using their knee, by stamping or a very heavy punch.
