Don't assume the victim is White. It seems it's a "mostly minority" facility.
Regardless, most people admitted to hospice care need specialized care that family members can't provide and still hold employment. It's a sad situation, but one dictated by their medical needs. Don't assume that people are just dumping their parent there.
Most Whites don't know, but you can get paid by Social Security to stay home and care for a family member. I don't know how much, but it's an option that's an alternative to putting a family member in hospice care IF they don't have any serious care requirements.
