    Saw that. It's a lovely idea, and I'm sure it'll come across the Pond. How the majority who would benefit can afford it is another thing entirely.

    I am wondering if because they have socialized medicine there, that it is free or low cost.


    I looked it up and this is what I found: The cost per resident is similar to more traditional nursing homes at around €5,000 per month.[4]
