Clodder...yea..that would be the definition..but legally care is not assumed because it needs to be defined so as to manage that handicapped persons care and to control abuses to that care. You may never assume legal dependency. For the protection of the handicapped and all others.
He was not legally obligated to the care of that individual. Socially she was dependent not legally a dependent.
If it is on record that she is a dependent of his and he signed a document to be her home health care provider or guardian so be it! But I don't think he did.
This is not to say that if you see or hear about anyone in this condition that you shouldn't call within a reasonable amount of time.....
