HOUSTON: Retirement communities and skilled nursing homes imply a level of elevated safety in their commercial pitch to prospective customers.
699: A woman who left her elderly parents heartbroken after stealing their life savings to pay for a life of luxury has been spared jail after an emotional family plea.
She spent thousands on expensive jewellery, handbags, trips to an upmarket spa and a holiday to Greece after abusing her power of attorney over the bank accounts of her parents.
Her mother discovered the theft by chance after a bank statement was mistakenly sent to her skilled nursing home.
Her 89-year-old husband is said to be now too confused to understand what is happening.
