The elderly are declared terminally ill (some whether true or not) and moved to the hospice to die.
There are complaints about this hospice, that mice run quite freely.
The people in the hospice (in general) are those whose families basically have given up on them anyway. Why would they be concerned?
I would definitely not want any family member of mine spending their last days on this earth in a hospice that's infested with vermin.
Sometimes I think we show more respect for the dead than we do for the dying in this country.
