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:
406: A pensioner who died at a skilled nursing home was “unlawfully killed”, a coroner has ruled.
He had suffered “catastrophic” abdominal injuries consistent with being “stamped upon or punched”, the inquest heard.
Police said it would be reviewing the findings.
