10. While I agree that this is a tragedy

Families must be more involved in loved ones' care- especially so if they are in a nursing home or state facility. If someone who loved this woman was there for even one meal a day, this may have been prevented. All too often I have seen (this is KatyMan's wife) people literally dumped in facilities and no one ever comes to visit them. State facilities in all states are notoriously understaffed and poorly run. This is not unique to Texas. Again, this is a tragedy. Everyone involved, even the family, bear some of the responsibility.
