The example used was cost of nursing home vs. Cost of cruise.On a cruise - Who changes her diapers, manually feeds her bite by bite, and carts her around...changes her clothing, bathes her....puts her to bed, gets her out of bed.......... when she can no longer do so on her own?
We aren't really talking about nursing home type care.
Surely there's a surcharge for cleaning someones shitty underpants that's not factored in here.
Like I said,we aren't really talking about nursing home care.
This is more like retirement living.
My mom is about ready for assisted living and the average cost in Texas is around 3500 a month.
When you start talking total care that price damn near doubles making it slightly over 200 a day.
I think this story has some errors in it.

Of course your post doesnt answer the question of those needing physical assistance.On a cruise - Who changes her diapers, manually feeds her bite by bite, and carts her around...changes her clothing, bathes her....puts her to bed, gets her out of bed.......... when she can no longer do so on her own?
7. "As to whether living out one's golden years aboard a cruise ship is a viable alternative to spending them in a retirement home, a geriatrician at Northwestern University says such a plan is a feasible and cost-effective alternative to assisted-living facilities.
Dr. LeeLindquist, an instructor at Northwestern's Feinberg School of Medicine, compared the costs (over a20-yearlife expectancy) of moving to an assisted-living facility, a nursing home and a cruise ship, including the expense of treating acute illnesses, Medicare reimbursement and other factors. She determined that the net cost of cruise-ship living was only about $2,000 more than the alternatives ($230,000 versus $228,000) and offered a higher quality of service.
"Cruise ships offer such a range of amenities — such as three meals a day, often with escorts to meals if needed, room service, entertainment, accessible halls and cabins, housekeeping and laundry services and physicians on board — that they could actually be considered a floating assisted-living facility," says Lindquist."
