Two terms not mentioned in the article are elder and guardianship abuse. The prevalence of these factors can and should be huge in determining both where to retire and, if it comes to it, a nursing home for one's own parents. Specifically abuses of elder guardianship, in which scummy lawyers work closely with nursing homes and local magistrates to usurp guardianship of elders from next-of-kin and then collectively drain the bank accounts of their elderly wards for 'services' rendered. Which sounds like a dystopian, Kafkaesque nightmare, but happens in a number of states.[1][2][3] [1]: https://kbzk.com/cnn-regional/2018/11/05/four-plead-guilty-in-guardianship-abuse-case/ https://kbzk.com/cnn-regional/2018/11/05/four-plead-guilty-i...
