Private equity has already beat you there and senior housing in the USA and there are already REITs that specialize in nursing homes.
This mindset (that it will be a goldrush) is why we can't have nice things. Can't trust capitalism to do this kind of stuff in a non-exploitative way
We don’t have nice things because congress sucks. Keep Blaming capitalism, that wall has lots of screams to bear yet.

Right, Congress needs to place more limits on capitalism, for the aforementioned reason (capitalism isn't good at common good stuff).
2040's? It is happening, now.
In Canada it has been the growth of old folks homes. I expect there will be a glut of them in 39 years or so. The companies behind them have likely made a killing.
This is already happening. I know a guy who literally cannot keep up with the demand for hearing aids. He has multiple locations already.
The Gaetz family probably owns this sector.
Buy a house, employ 6 nurses?
