I certainly understand the frustration and 'hurt' expressed by what is in the article. And there are some questionable circumstances and decisions, yes, along with unwillingness to work with the poor.
But it's not as if these people are being pushed into mass graves with a bulldozer. Or willy-nilly flung around without respect.
Most of these stories were of people already forgotten - strained relationships, mental illness, or otherwise out of contact with their loved ones.
If someone hasn't spoken to another member of a family or friends in a number of years and kept in contact with the caregivers/caregiving facilities, and their only contact is with someone who is paid to care for their most basic needs, how can we entirely blame a system for not going to utter lengths to 'restore' those?

Another sad reality is: some people don't care.
