Or if you want actual truth, interview people at said missing home.

Person A was rich, her 500k in savings was all spent to provide her care at a rate of 5k per month until it is gone.

Person B had 100k to her name. She paid the nursing home 5k per month until it was gone. Then care is free until the money runs out.

Person C had 0 money. They paid $0 from day 1.

All three got the same medical care. All three got the same food. Maybe person A spring for a private room vs a shared room... But otherwise all would be the same.

Nursing homes in general aren't great. Hopefully you can stay out of them. Eating well and exercising seem to help. If not, money won't do much.



You do not know what you are talking about at all.

Person b experienced a lower standard of care once the money ran out.

(I'm sure this isn't universally true, but in my experience it is. It's a free market...)
