My wife used to work in a nursing home, a very nice upscale nursing home. They were given every opportunity to fix problems, and were still in constant danger of being shut down due to violations. The lowest price room you could get at this place was $3,000 per month. This was allegedly "independent living", but they kept taking people who needed 24 hour care, and they couldn't keep up with everyone who needed it.
