{TV} Dramas (single episodes or complete series) that are set in an old people's home, or a care home, or feature a long-term hospital stay
I started this list as I was interested when I found yet another episode of a TV drama with the story of the investigation of murder/one or more strange deaths in an old people's home or another place of respite.
However, the intriguing point is that these episodes/dramas all refer to the fact that we in the West are all living longer so these places are becoming more pertinent to all human beings!
