LOS ANGELES: 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:
423: A light-fingered retirement community worker has been caught in the act by a hidden-camera sting.
Cameras were installed in flats at the retirement community after money went missing. The covert cameras also caught her putting on blue plastic gloves while she went through rooms.
She’s been sentenced to home detention and ordered to have therapy for a gambling problem.
