Aged care is expensive to provide. Many or not for profit or religious based. They still don’t always have great conditions.
Obviously, some are great.
It’s only going to get more and more expensive as we continue to live longer with more and more medicines and treatments required to do so. Not to mention the cost of staff to support more elderly people as the population ages. While staff pay is poor, it’s going to become harder to recruit new staff. The aged care facilities are incenvised to run as short staff constantly rather than hire more without more investment.
