High Court continues the existing care orders for an elderly man with dementia, following a review of the case, where allegations made by the man's son about the nursing home's treatment and a request to move the man closer to family were not substantiated with evidence, despite the court's direction to file an affidavit, and medical reports confirmed the man's need for constant care and indicated that a change in environment would negatively impact his mental health.
