Nursing home versus cruise ship...what's wrong with this picture?

So let's see, for those of a certain age (MUCH older than I am), the average cost for a private room at a nursing home is $6,965 per month. That works out to $41, 695 for a six-month stay. For $40,999, a person could sail with an inside cabin on an Oceania Cruises ship and visit five continents, 45 countries, and 45 islands--92 ports of call in all. That includes all meals, Vegas-style entertainment, swimming pools, whirlpools, and other extras. At the nursing home, you get food barely edible, a screw-you attitude from staff, and all the bingo and card games you can stomach for "only" an extra $1,696. What's wrong with this picture?
