When you are alone, you can die free of attachment which is hardly possible if you have a family. From the Buddhist point of view, the state of your mind at the moment of death is very critical. It conditions your rebirth. Any attachment is bad for your rebirth.

IMHO.
If to death is those of struggle, will it impact rebirth ?
E.g. single living alone, suddenly collapse in pain for many minutes before death ?

Yes, it does. But, it is just like any accident that could happen to the married with family in different circumstances. It doesn’t affect the single exclusively, though you are setting up a specific circumstance that makes it sounds like only the singles are affected.

Old folks home is only when cannot take care of ownself. Should look for aged sheltered homes if able to.

"
Sheltered Homes provide accommodation to ambulant seniors who have no alternative living arrangements. These seniors are capable of taking care of their activities of daily living and do not have family support or unable to live with their families because of a breakdown in relationships.

Hmm... these days, like never hear of folks die in their sleep. 🤔
Not really, there are a few cases of some high profile figures died in sleep in recent years. You can do a Google Search.
