Elder abuse is one of the most common forms and one of the hardest to bring attention to. When the usual signs of abuse could be the result of legitimate health conditions (bruising, fractures, lost weight) they are easier to excuse by the abuser. 

Doctors take on an extreme number of patients for the Medicare money and rarely see the patients, most orders are given over the phone or based on documentation. Most of my resident's doctors can't even recognize the patient they're writing orders for while they're right in front of them. 

That being said, TMZ is hardly a reliable source and with the attention this has received it should be incredibly easy to place him into a facility while the courts settle this matter. And if he's on hospice there should be multiple nurses seeing him at least several times a week. If there is obvious abuse they are mandated reporters and have the resources to remove him from that home. 

They say his urine is orange. Do they mean amber? Bright Orange urine is a very common side effect of the drug Pyridium, which is commonly used in elderly with recurring UTI. That may be the case here and the family may not have been educated on the side effect. If it's amber that's a sign of dehydration and/or UTI, which can be devastating to an elderly person.

Either way, the appropriate authorities need to get involved.
