Abstract:
Ruth Moose of Albemarle recounts the indignity of her mother’s care in a nursing home. Circumstances often force the elderly into nursing homes as their dependents cannot afford care. In such nursing homes, the residents do not always experience a high quality of care and they suffer for it. This story will become more common as dependents over 65 in North Carolina will increase by 20 percent over the next 20 years.
