The 88-year-old woman who ‘escaped’ from her nursing home August 18, 2018
The first time Rosie tried to “escape” from the nursing home, she packed her suitcase and sat by the door for nine hours, refusing food, water and medicine. Staff threatened to call the guards. Her eldest daughter came to tell her, “You are not going home.”
“I ate humble pie,” Rosie says. “I went to bed and I cried myself to sleep.”
That was in 2016.
She fell at home and her family grew concerned for her safety. Her daughters took her to the Dublin nursing home believing she could no longer look after herself.
