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.
696: The former bookkeeper of a retirement community once got an employee fired for using a company credit card to buy minutes for a personal cell phone.
But according to court documents, there was a much larger thief working at The Village. The bookkeeper herself was sentenced Tuesday to two years and four months prison on charges she stole cash and goods.
