DALLAS: 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.
1143: The death of an elderly woman in a Nursing Home is reigniting the call for better working conditions there. What should have been an honest mistake by the resident ultimately cost her her life. She was 83.
Police say she accidentally went into the room of another resident and then wound up in a fight. She later died from her injuries.
