Nation IN BRIEF : FLORIDA : Nursing Home Site of Killings, State Alleges
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
State regulators are trying to take control of a nursing home where they say elderly residents have been killed and raped by mentally ill patients. The Ambrosia Home, which has 75 residents, placed some of its frail elderly residents in a locked wing with violent, mentally ill residents, said officials of the Agency for Health Care Administration in Tampa, which licenses nursing homes. The agency shut down Ambrosia’s 23-bed locked wing last week.
