The cost of living

Abstract

Ann Mackay's article highlighted the costs involved in running a care home. Here, Kate Rees tells the other side of the story from her mother's perspective ‐ who changed from an independent retiree to a dependent resident in a nursing home ‐ and illustrates the true cost of living when you can no longer look after yourself.
