One horror story could be about neglect. In some retirement homes, the staff might be overworked and not be able to give proper care to the residents. For example, an elderly person with diabetes might not get their insulin on time, leading to serious health problems. Another story could be about abuse.

Some retirement homes might overcharge residents or mismanage their funds, leaving the elderly in a difficult situation financially.
