(First, that's a discussion for osmand or carto;

I am not aware of any wheelchair symbol in osm carto.
Graeme mentioned "map edit", which I assume means the iD editor, and OsmAnd.

the tag is fine even if renderers do something unwanted.)

I think Graeme's original question was about campus and building tagging.
As nursing homes often have some green area around, mapping the campus is preferred, and the campus gets the amenity tag. The building on campus are just tagged building=* according to their typus.

Only if there is no campus, the amenity tag goes on the building, that seems to be the case in the other example, just the building tag is missing here.

There are other building tagging errors nearby, e.g. "Varsity view" with a building around buildings (if these are towers, they would have to be tagged building:part=yes instead).

Indeed, the more modern style of tagging is amenity=social_facility which in carto renders as caring hands, both on buildings or campus, and can be sub-tagged with nursing home, assisted living and so on.
