I think it's a shame that nursing homes buy up the elderly's homes, then let them sit for years before putting them on the market. all the while the property gets run down from being empty, young families can't find decent housing and property values fall everywhere in rural and small town america. I can see 4 homes suffering this fate from my front porch right now. I'm sorry these folks needed nursing care at the end, but i'm even more sorry that the homes they built with love and effort are falling to ruin because of this shameful practice. The families should have seen the value of the property, not a medical institution run by CEO's making outrageous sums and shareholders getting paid for being lucky enough to have invested in this corrupt system years ago.
