PHOENIX (AZFamily)<\/b> \u2014 Phoenix Police identified a man who was assaulted inside an assisted living facility earlier this month and later died from his injuries, but questions remain about what led to the attack and how an unknown suspect gained access to the building.<\/p>\n

John Solomon, 60, was living at Olive Grove Assisted Living on Indian School Road near 30th Street in Phoenix. His oldest daughter said he was wheelchair-bound and needed additional care. He died six days after the assault.<\/p>\n

The assault<\/h2>\n

Video from July 2 shows nearly a dozen police SUVs surrounding the entrance to Olive Grove as officers responded to a report of an aggravated assault inside. Authorities initially described Solomon\u2019s injuries as serious. Police later identified him and ruled his death a homicide.<\/p>\n

Phoenix police told reporters the suspect is not an employee of the facility and that there is no threat to the public but declined to explain the basis for that determination. Police said they hope to provide more information soon.<\/p>\n

Facility\u2019s inspection history<\/h2>\n

Arizona\u2019s Family Investigates reviewed inspection records for Olive Grove over the last two years and found five enforcement actions were taken against the facility. <\/p>\n

The most recent, in March of last year, involved a manager who failed to ensure the facility conducted an investigation into an allegation of sexual assault. The month prior, state inspectors found one resident had no medical record, and another did not have medication administered properly. Three months before that, Olive Grove was fined $2,200.<\/p>\n

AARP Arizona responds<\/h2>\n

Dana Kennedy, state director for AARP Arizona, said families should research facilities through the Arizona Department of Health Services website.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would definitely make sure the facility is being held accountable,\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cAnd that they provide communication frequently and often to family members. They should be communicating with the residents and the families as soon as something like this happens.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kennedy also addressed a bill that would have mandated the right to electronic monitoring in assisted living facilities \u2014 allowing families to place cameras in residents\u2019 rooms with facility approval. The bill failed for the third consecutive year.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year we had a bill for electronic monitoring where a family would be able to put a camera into a resident\u2019s room if they wanted it and if it was approved, and that bill died,\u201d Kennedy said. \u201cThe third year in a row, which makes me furious because we would have answers had this resident had a camera.\u201d<\/p>\n
