An intruder at the Heritage Rehab Center on Vermont Avenue sexually assaulted at least one, possibly three patients in the California nursing home. A lawsuit alleges that the nursing home understaffed the home in order to turn a higher profit, leaving its residents victim to neglect and abuse. The intruder is thought to have entered through an unlocked window at around 6:30 pm on February 10. He approached the woman who was in a wheelchair and fondled her as he sat on her lap. When she threatened to call for help, he left through the window and told her he would be back. This terrifying scenario of our loved ones being left unattended, without supervision or help happens too often at nursing homes that are understaffed and left without the proper funding.
