I can actually see the possibility that this is not the fault of the staff. My own mother had breast cancer and was so modest she refused to tell anyone. Eventually our suspicions grew about her refusal to go to a doctor for routine checkups and it was found and treated, but not before a large hole was eaten into her breast!
Add to this the fact that with the possibility of sex abuse being charged against caregivers at nursing homes, they may not have paid as much attention to that area of the patient when bathing, etc. If he made no complaints about it I would think it would be hard to find without actually getting pretty personal.

He wore diapers that had to be changed by the staff.

I kind of wondered about that. They say he was able to speak etc, so I wondered why he (apparently) didn’t mention it to anyone himself. Then again, the story seems to be missing information. As usual.
Poor guy.
And I will do my best to make sure no one I love has to end up in a care facility. And I certainly hope I don’t.
