An 85 year old nursing home patient certainly expected to be secure in her nursing home bedroom. Undoubtedly her family never expected her to become a victim of one of the most violent and cruel crimes --- sexual assault --- while a patient at a nursing home. Yet, this happens in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. There have been prosecutions in Henrico County for raping nursing home patients. Nursing homes in Virginia are required to conduct criminal background checks of its employees.
According to the Virginia Supreme Court, a nursing home that fails to provide reasonable security for its patients may be held accountable in a court of law.
