I recall 4 yrs ago a 600lb man I provided service to in an assisted living facility. The state appropriated 25k for bariatric equipment via the CBA pgm. He was manipulative, selfish and demanding, and only lasted around 4 months there, being evicted because he violated the food policy. He was sneaking pizzas and liters of cokes at night. His caseworker learned of it and placed him in a SNF. Sad case. Food was his DRUG. He was only about 35 and in very poor health as you can imagine...lower extremity edema as I’ve never seen. CHF/kidney failure...
It is sad and you have to wonder at what point did they and/or their families just not care or try to do something.
