If you pay a lot for hair or meals I guess no tip. No nurses treat or thank you card if loved ine was in hospital

Tip what you can, but that is typical in a nicer facility. Even if you are paying $10-14K/month, those employees are doing challenging work and deserve a tip.

Not cheap. Tip proportionate to services rendered.
The organizers wouldn't have given a $1/day figure if they weren't accounting for comings and goings.
That said, if the service is good and a bigger tip is affordable, then it's nice to be generous.
They are probably including all the staff, but its a bit of a big ask given how much the facility costs.

Is it anonymously pooled? Anonymously collected? If people know how much he gives that could affect their attitude. I would do $365 or $185. Round up.

No, give $50 - that's absurd. They should budget a holiday bonus.
