 So then, Mrs. Mock could simply take mum out of the nursing home and let her live with her, right?

I repeat:

Because the daughter probably has a family and also works.  This way, the old woman has care 24/7 in the nursing home.  It's not always easy for a working family to take in the old folks.

I understand. However, it is a choice they have made, so now if they can't take her in, they should accept it, instead of whining.
