That's because the wage is terrible. IDK if the R&D cost of the robots offsets the cost of paying people to take care of the elderly at all.
- nradov 2y agoIt's more than just wages, the work is miserable for most people. One of my relatives had Alzheimer's disease and spent the end of his life in an elder care facility. Every time I went to visit I saw how he was abusive and combative towards the staff when they had to dress him or brush his teeth or change his diaper. I see tech company employees on this site whining about minor mistreatment from co-workers all the time but they have no idea how bad it can get in healthcare dealing with patients.
