Annie is 73 and in excellent health. Since Annie's husband died, her daughter Carol has been living with her, but Carol has accepted a new job in a different part of the country and will no longer be able to care for her mother. Annie wanted to stay in her own house and perhaps receive visits from a professional carer, but Carol will be happier if her mother is in a residential home providing care, comfort, counselling and an active social life. They haven't chosen a home yet and have been trying to find somewhere which will be covered by her widow's pension and the money they can get from selling Annie's house.
