Is it possible the 70 year old gentlemen might not want to leave the home, he may be happy there? If this is the case, talk to the family about having him evaluated for hospice, that hospice provides therapy as well that their family member might actually enjoy. Some families find it difficult to accept loss, it doesn't mean they don't love them. It sounds like the gentlemen and his family need help.

Family should ask the MD for Hospice care in the home. If they don't report the neglect to APS.
