Sex Assaults Not Reported At Southampton Assisted-Living Home: Report

UPPER SOUTHAMPTON, PA —Two former administrators of The Landing of Southampton face neglect charges for failing to report sexual assaults at the assisted-living home, according to published reports.

Ashley Harker, The Landing's former general manager, and Joy Alfonsi, former director of health and wellness at the Street Road facility, were arraigned last week and released on bail, the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.

Prosecutors stated the charges stem from the two not reporting the sexual assaults of three female dementia patients to Bucks County officials and the victims’ families, the newspaper reported.

A call and an email to the state Attorney General's Office were not answered.

The Landing offers both assisted living and memory care services for seniors’ needs.

The Landing is operated by Seattle-based Leisure Care, which states on its website that it is one of the country’s biggest privately held retirement and assisted living companies.
