You cannot compare this situation to my parents being in a home, where the home is paid to take care of my family and the contract I signed with them states that they are taken care of, fed, bathed, cleaned...etc. IF that were the case, then there'd be neglect.
However, what boggles my mind is this: How can you say one day, "I just can't get up?". I mean, the time before this one, you sat down and got up - but this time you can't?. How can you just not get up anymore? I think its kind of hilarious.
This truly give meaning to "_______'s (Insert name here) last stand" (i.e. Custer's last stand)

What would you do if you put your elderly parents in a home and found out that they weren't being taken care of. They were left to sit in their own filth and they had bed sores and weren't being fed, or cleane dup because they couldn't do it themselves.
I doubt you'd say "well they were old, it's own fault that they couldn't take care of themselves".
Sure she let her self get this way, but maybe if she had someone looking after her properly she could have gotten the help she needed.
