warehoused

Put in storage

Warehoused is the past tense of warehouse, meaning stored in a warehouse or similar facility: The company warehoused excess inventory until demand picked up.

Figuratively, it describes placing people in institutions without meaningful care or attention—parking them rather than helping them: The elderly were warehoused in understaffed facilities.

This critical sense implies neglect disguised as management.
