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.
860: A nurse who told an elderly patient: “I do not mix business with pleasure” when he was inserting a catheter in her bladder has been struck off.
He also put his hand down the back of his female colleague’s trousers and fondled her while working at the skilled nursing home.
He pulled the bra strap of another woman he worked with during July 2010 and made inappropriate sexual comments to colleagues.
