I believe it.

IMHO, any disabled elderly who enter an average standard of care nursing home in the USA run the risk of being of one of two destinations after a given period of time:

either sent to a hospital with a far worse and different ailment than they entered the nursing home with, or sent to the funeral home.

True, but keep in mind WHY people are in nursing homes in the first place: they are sick and/or demented, and their family, for one reason or another, cannot or will not care for them at home.

Even the very BEST nursing homes suck.

At the very best, nursing homes are warehouses where people wait to die.
