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.
626: An “intimidating” male nurse allegedly forced tablets down the throat of an elderly woman at a skilled nursing home, a disciplinary hearing was told today. He also is said to have shouted at an incontinent woman calling her “dirty old lady” after she asked him for help.
The former nurse is facing five separate allegations of misconduct.
