I agree. Care is highly expensive out of neccesity. You need someome to basically do everything for these individuals, and this includes many undesirable tasks such as helping them use the commode, shower, dress, etc.

Additionally, the typical pay and hours worked for the nurses and care workers is, in my opinion, much lower than it ought to be. The cost will only increase as the nursing shortage increases.

Even ignoring economics, the quality of life for someone living in a nursing home isn't very high.
