There are amazing old age homes if you want/are able to pay for it.
Like everything - education , healthcare, nursing homes - if you expect the government to pay and give you the best service you better be willing to pay much more in taxes, which people usually aren’t.

I spent 7 years volunteering in care homes. More often than not there wasn't adequate staffing to maintain a proper level of care. PCA's couldn't do a proper job due to the stress of high patient levels. The smell of urine and body odor are also concerns that I have. Worst offenders are the private for profit.
I was visiting a blind woman in her 80's and it wasn't hard to notice the above. When she passed away I said enough is enough, as I couldn't stomach the conditions in those places.
The above is a major reason my elderly mother is with me as opposed to a care facility.
