| Annotation | The author describes her struggle to protect her mother's right to remain in the residential home where she has lived happily for eight years. The decision made by a social services department (SSD) that her mother should be moved to a nursing home was quashed by the Court of Appeal. The situation described relates to the artificial boundary between social and nursing care. This case highlights many important issues which the author hopes may benefit other older people, and will also be heeded by policy makers. (RH). |
