The buildings, maintenance, heating, air conditioning, insurances including liability, food, entertainment, skilled employees, managers benefits and all the incidentals not even mentioned here make the care very expensive. Look at what pro athletes are paid and so called movie/entertainment people, this world is very upside down. As mentioned early, apply to a nursing home and advise us how to run it as a nonprofit entity.

Also, if you are in a nursing home, you won't have to worry about going out for dinner.
good point for sure!
