Move Towards The Light (fully functional)

An Eldercare facility that's somewhat kinder than the Pensioner Extraction Centre ... surplus Seniors that have no family are humanely disposed of by the Dead End Retirement Facility, by being gently encouraged to eat chocolate until they drop dead

If placed in a pollution-free / noise-free area, no 'sickness' icon will ever appear above this Facility, only the occasional 'Death by Chocolate' icon appears. The benefits of this Asset are:
[1] Seniors' housing is freed-up for fresh migrant workers, and
[2] The player can precisely manage the percentage of Seniors in the population

The Nursing Homes mod calculates the number of Seniors in a city using the vanilla Retirement age of 50. As a result, the mod sees anyone over 50 as a Senior, even if the Retirement age has been changed to a higher figure via Lifestyle Rebalance Revisited. So if the Retirement age is much higher than 50, the Facility can end up with substantial numbers of Adults alongside Seniors.

In my own case, I elected to adjust my city's Retirement age from 65 back to 50, but a side-effect was that I ended up with a city where 47% of the population were Seniors. So the Facility was devised to humanely dispose of surplus Seniors, then - by changing the [Options] for the Nursing Homes mod - I was able to transform it from a cost centre to a profit centre.

- found under Healthcare
Range
- sufficient to service an entire 25 tile city (meaning it can be placed in a remote corner of a 25-tile map)
Workforce
- 2 Receptionists (uneducated)
- 1 Chocolatier (educated)
Other
- the number of rooms can be modified via Nursing Homes options, and can range from 50, to the default of 100, through to 300. The number of occupants peaks at around 1.35 * Number of rooms. So more rooms = more occupants (and greater profit).
- if you need to process more Seniors, just build additional Facilities (to get around the 'Building already exists' message, use the 'copy' function within Move It!)
- Seniors do very occasionally breed, so you may see a few children after a while - about 2-3% of total occupants over the long term
- the Facility is designed to enable precise management of Senior numbers, so demolishing a Facility to instantly remove all occupants from a city should rarely if ever be necessary
- gathering points are placed in the form of a path leading from the Facility's entrance, then on to the 'Light' ...
