Can we move to a model that's more like fostering but for elderly, where some of them live with aides, or even family members who are given more funding to make things easier? I guess it's challenging since so many have special needs (up to and including people who are completely out of it and will burn a house down, etc.). The ones who don't mostly don't need to live in care homes to begin with.

Not practical for many two income households. We also know healthcare support workers working at multiple care homes helped spread this virus, would you want that happening as they went to multiple family's homes?
