BOSTON: 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.
761: A nursing home will face thousands in fines for providing substandard care.
A resident died after a worker accidentally dropped her. She suffered two broken legs in the fall. She was taking blood thinners and bled internally from her injuries.
Investigators discovered that nurses knew she had broken her legs but failed to let anyone know.
