CHICAGO: 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:
540: A police investigation has been launched after a 98-year-old woman was seriously injured in a skilled nursing home.
The woman was taken to hospital with serious leg injuries on Sunday.
Police were called to the home and said they were liaising with relevant agencies to establish the full circumstances.
