The situation is/will be no different in NZ. Not only that but the proportion of the aged who can currently self fund their costs is falling incrementally.
The tsunami is coming. And RV operators are purposefully downsizing or exiting the provision of aged care beds as a matter of policy even now, with the intent of only providing for their own residents transition into care.
Our commitment to "short termism" isn't helping, with other more immediate crisis to focus upon.
