Elder care? It exists, and it's nowhere as expensive.

My grandma's non medicalised public retirement house costs $2k+ per month, she's not even sick.

A 24/7 _at home_ and _medical_ care will cost a fortune anywhere in the world and is never covered unless you have a very expensive private insurance to begin with

I'm not saying it would be cheap, I said it would not be this expensive.

Also, there are different healthcare systems around the world. I don't know why you would be so sure about the impossibility of at-home nursing.

Hospitals and health systems are at capacity pretty much everywhere, they can barely keep up with people in them, they won't dispatch nurses and docs around.

And my example was in France, far from being hell on earth when it comes to health

24/7 care is 168hr/week, so the costs will be about 4 FTE in local salary. It's only less expensive elsewhere because wages are lower elsewhere.
