Where were they locking up the elderly? In fully staffed assisted living facilities?
A friend's grandmother died alone, without having seen friends or family for months, shut in her room in a care facility during 2020.
I suppose you are one of the people who would also tell us that house arrest is "not hard".
My implication though was that elderly were not "isolated from any contact with people they depend on for basic survival needs" in cases where they were put in assisted living facilities, because they provide for basic survival needs.

Never implied that.
But if you think that most "living facilities", even when "fully staffed" are a good place to leave an older person without regular visits, I am going to disagree with you.
