Would you mind elaborating a bit on what's bad about it? I've been to a few retirement homes and they seemed reasonably nice places, but I don't think I've visited a nursing home.
Imagine a day care where the children never get picked up, need to sleep there, and cost is the biggest factor except for in a very small percentage of facilities.
Now replace every child with an octogenarian who hasn't seen his family in six weeks, or maybe just saw his family yesterday for his birthday but doesn't remember at all. Replace the apples and letters on the walls with Cardiograms and notices about patient safety and how dedicated the employee who was on the shift when your grandmother's wedding band went missing is to her care.
It's a problem that a lot of people want to ignore because it really is hard to think about it.
