That, uh, doesn't sound right at all.
(having spent a few years with dad in a memory-care facility, and thereafter more than that volunteering because the staff was 100% dedicated)
The major stressors in life are death of close ones followed closely by major changes in living arraingments.
For someone with their world already upside down that could be catastophic....Thinking they have been abandoned by family. It would be a major blow to someone already so weak.
I hope you re-consider that place...and notify authorities in writing.
Who knows what contracts are being signed or what care the resident is being given in the meantime. There are places that get themselves legally assigned 'Guardianship' by local courts and then all kinds of trouble begins while bills pile up and accounts disappear.
