I'm sorry things didn't go well for your mom. But "Even the best ones are a galaxy away from what you get at home" would depend on what you consider the "best" and what you can provide at home. The level of care at the place my father played out his last 8 years was head and shoulders above what anyone in our family could have provided, short of one of us having 10 years of nursing experience and quitting our job to care for him.
Every family situation is different. I'm glad you have the training and resources to take care of him in his home. In my father's case "the home" was far better than the family could have provided.
