Most nursing homes/assisted living homes are owned by large hospitals. If you burp the wrong way they rush you to the hospital....until you run out of money, then they let you die. Don't ask me how I know.
RIP dad after spending a million bucks over ten years in the nursing home.

My father refused to cooperate at the assisted care place because he believed old people are, in his words, "....nothing but cash cows to these people." At one point a nurse told him, "If you don't take your medications, you'll die." To which he replied, "Really? Ya think? I think that stuff IS death. Get the hell away from me with it." (He believed the "medication" they give people in the old folks home is intended to "zombify" them---make them easier to deal with. He referred to mangement at the home as "the perpetrators".)
Ironically, the nurses thought the world of him, some of them came to his funeral in tears. One said, "Your father was a wonderful man, sharp as a tack and stood up for himself right to the very end." I took that as validation for his notions.
