This garbage is going on all over the country. I hope that everyone with an elderly relative demands that any and all legal issues be discussed with an appointed counselor.

Yes it is. But what to do? Perhaps the community should take more of an interest in the old folks. Perhaps relatives should, too. When old people are tossed out, a lot of times they don't survive: that's the end right there. Many of us may be in the same situation some day, so think about it. Don't expect the government to treat anybody as special, but volunteers can and do. We should take care of each other a little better.
