When I get old and feeble, I am going to get on a Princess Cruise Ship. The average cost for a nursing home is $250/day. On Princess, I can get a long term discount and a senior price of $155. That leaves plenty for tips.
I could eat six meals a day and have breakfast in bed. The Princess has swimming pools, an exercise room, free washers and dryers, and shows every night. And I'll get free toothpaste, razors, soap and shampoo.

They'll treat me like a customer, not a patient. An extra $10 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help me. TV broken? Light bulb needs changing? They'll fix everything and apologize for my inconvenience.
If I fall in the nursing home and break a hip, I'll be on Medicare. If I fall and break a hip on the ship, they'll probably upgrade me to a suite for the rest of my life. And no matter what country or island I want to see, Princess will take me there.
So don't look for me in a nursing home, just call shore to ship.
