This is what I think too. They use all of their free or cheap options first and rely on the real entertainers in a pinch. I remember one place where millionaires lived that used school programs which were of course free. This discussion reminds me why I no longer work nursing homes. There's no money to be made in my area anyway.
Most of these “ up scale” places have a shoe string budget for entertainment. Around here the pay is low and they make you wait months before they send you a check and many places need frequent reminders and copies of old invoices resubmitted in order to get a payment.
Total PITA!
