A 98-year-old mother has moved into a care home to look after her
80-year-old son.
Ada Keating and her son, Tom, have always lived together as Mr Keating
never married.
He moved into the Moss View Care Home in Liverpool in 2016 because he
needed more care and support and one year later his mother followed to help
look after her eldest son, the Liverpool Echo reported.
“I say goodnight to Tom in his room every night and I’ll go and say good
morning to him,” Ms Keating, a former auxiliary nurse, said.
“When I get back he’ll come to me with his arms outstretched and give me
a big hug. You never stop being a mum.”
Mr Keating, who was a painter and decorator, said he was happy to have
his mother at the care home.
“They’re very good here and I’m happy to see my mum more now she lives
here.”
Care
home manager Philip Daniels said the pair are inseparable. “It’s very
rare to see mothers and their children together in the same care home and we
certainly want to make their time together as special as possible,” he
told the Echo.
