I feel that this is the case in most developed countries unless you can afford to pay $10,000 - $20,000 per month for an upscale nursing home.

Robots might make it a little less terrible.

I am somewhat sympathetic to this view. I know its not popular.

But, given the deficiency of the UK to actually grasp the nettle of adult social care, this is probably what we'll get.

A better way, perhaps is better integration of care in the community, as in old people mixed in and around young. (safeguarding issue need to be solved though)
