Man Arrested for Assault After Argument at Elder Care Facility

Sometimes when it comes to tending to the needs of our elderly loved ones, it is sad to consider that we just might not be in the best position to tend to the needs.  There could be any number of reasons for this r ranging from not having adequate time or space in your home, to considerations of personal privacy and other concerns.  Of course, in our society, we have created facilities in terms of nursing homes or assisted living spaces that help to ease the burden on extended families when caring for older relatives. It is important for the families and the elderly themselves to have that sense of security and knowing that they will be safe and well cared for. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.  A recent incident took place at the Northwest Houston Nursing home on Monday night and is being investigated by The Department of Aging and Disability Services. Authorities placed Raul Rocha, 46, under arrest just moments after he allegedly attacked his relative and roommate Mario Flores.   Rocha is accused of hitting Flores with a dumb bell after the two got into a fight on Monday night. Flores was flown to the hospital in critical but stable condition. Just weeks before two men from the same elder care facility were killed. 51-year-old Primitivo Lopez and 75-year-old Antonio Acosta were beaten to death with the arm of a wheelchair by Cuillermo Correa, 56. Rocha has been charged with aggravated assault of a family member and is expected to appear in court on Wednesday. Lawyers spend many years in law school to specialize in a specific area of the law.
