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

437: A skilled nursing home is facing legal action after a resident died from pneumonia weighing just 5st 5lb, shortly after leaving the home.
A law firm has been instructed to represent the family and investigate the care and treatment the mother received before leaving the skilled nursing home.
