289 Nursing Homes get up to 7,500 a month for your granny to share a room. That's not including medical costs, that's room and board with diaper changing. We should NOT warehouse our seniors. I rented rooms out 8 years ago at 550 a month (Not shared) so there is a lot of profit @15,000 a room.

They are a competitive business just like any other.
The employees are expensive, providing all the meals, and I imagine they have to pay huge insurance premiums for possible malpractice claims etc.
Buyer beware.
Don't even get me started on the huge waste and theft problems... LOL
My wife was a CNA for 5 years 15 patients normally, if short, 20. Of her 15, 9 were in diapers, and 3 needed a machine to lift the patient up. Dayshift and second shift 1 CNA to 10 when at full staff.
