I’m not saying this is the case with your friend...but I have friend that does social work for the state. He works almost entirely with the elderly in rural areas. Many have no family and little money. Their homes are hazardous. They often have no food or warmth. He actually brings them food, hooks them up with Meals On Wheels and coordinates with local utility companies to keep the lights and heat/ac on.
He never “insists” that they move to safer quarters, but he does encourage them. The few he has been able to convince to relocate usually end up back in their homes in a week or two.
Of course that is their right. But it is heartbreaking for him to see the elderly live in such conditions. His motives aren’t nefarious at all.
I’m suspicious that bertie’s friend is heart broken by his contacts. It sounds like he has some unresolved emotional problems that are being related to the people he works with. A healthy man does his job and knows what needs to be done. The heart breaking part needs to be saved for his own family. Something is wrong there.
