>I wish we had a national Healthcare system to increase quality of life in nursing homes around America. Even the nice ones tend to fall short.
Even for countries that has this, this approach is unrealistic at this time.
Due to the silver tsunami, _a lot_ of resources and qualified staff will go into keeping the same level for a rapidly increasing number of nursing home residents. Increasing the standards at the same time is unrealistic.

Serving good food rather than junk is nice... but there are ways of doing it.
Either with a buffet, or if you have a set menu with many dishes, the usual way is that the last pre-dessert serving either has a way where the guests can add more food, or have second helpings .
I'd be so disappointed if I had any of the things you mentioned - other than the salad - but customs vary.
