Not really on-topic but related. Until 10 years ago in Germany there used to be compulsory military service but alternatively it was possible to work instead in social services of which nursing homes were a large quantity. I think coincidentally this was a good way to let not completely indifferent people work in not really great circumstances. Probably the dynamics there aren't the greatest, low pay and some people are probably just there because it was easy to apply. Apart from the dirty work I think nursing homes could be actually great places for the inhabitants and so much better than living isolated which is more common the older people get.
