Why not let her live with her. She is perfectly healthy except for some arthritis in her knees. More to the point, WHY is she in a nursing home?
Why the government intervenes and 'gives' you care, you know there will be strings attached.
She's not ambulatory, for God's sake and the daughter is 68 years old!
Who know if the daughter's health is all that good either?

Nothing like a leap in logic to brighten my day.
Where in the article does it say that she is getting free care paid for by the government? Nursing homes are NOT all government care.
The lady has arthritis, probably requiring theropy 3-4 times a day. Younger healthier people you tell them to exercise, walk etc 3-4 times a day. The older need help, so a care facility is required.
Twits on this thread fail to see the injustice of it all, putting up a smoke (pardon the pun) screen of oxygen, government health care, stinky smells and plain old bad attitude.
Maybe the old woman fell and broke her hip, therefore, needing round the clock care.
Maybe she has a heart problem requiring round the clock monitoring. The "if's" are endless when it comes to the elderly.
