My mother in law works in a nursing home and is very dedicated, and I don't think she's unusual there.
My grandmother, who had dementia, died a fortnight ago in a nursing home after falling (possibly after having a stroke) and breaking her wrists, and then subsequently having another stroke. Although I never visited her there, my mother and aunt were very satisfied with the level of care and concern displayed by the staff.
Food poisoning though - that's something caused by the kitchen staff, not the nursing staff. Obviously there's an overlying management issue but mistakes with food handling happen everywhere. There's just less margin for error when you're dealing with old and/or infirm people.
And I see your point pkc but it's not the modern medicine which kept my grandmother alive until she went into the home at the age of 87, it was good genetics, a reasonable diet, and sheer bloody-mindedness. What's the alternative to nursing homes? Euthanasia?? You can't just knock people off once they need care.
