But it is very difficult,” Charles replied when asked to describe life in the nursing home he entered when he was only 51. He is one of 1,300 people under 65 living in residential care Ireland at present, and a group of them who recently spoke to the Ombudsman Peter Tyndall all said they wanted to live at home. Their experiences are contained in his report, ‘Wasted Lives: Time for a better future for younger people in nursing homes’, published today (May 5).
