Case Details
An 87-year-old resident was killed after being physically attacked by an intruder who entered the nursing home through an unsecured door. Caregivers had complained for years about homeless people in the neighborhood, some of whom would enter the nursing facility in the winter for warmth or looking for food. Employees asked that a security guard be provided at night, but those requests were ignored.
