Dorothea already had criminal charges and was in prison for 5 years for drugging people. In addition, this could be another story if the social workers had investigated why elder people with health problems disappear without any explanation from Dorothea’s house, especially if more than two people already had disappeared. Finally, if the community (neighborhood) had called the police when there was a terrible odor in the garden, the police could investigate it sooner.

With the percentage of the population above the age of 60 about to increase rapidly, long-term facilities will become more prevalent and important.
