- When I was young and innocent the idea of 90-year-olds in pecking orders, picking on those at the bottom, was a joke. Everyone knew that the real danger to the elderly came from unscrupulous relatives, con artists or abusive caregivers [but] aggression among residents in nursing homes is widespread.

My sister in law has a nursing home. Completely not like the one described, but still I have come to realise that most of the worst traits in someone's personality are only exaccerbated with age. Reading this made me sad, but not surprised in the least. My grandparents are barely able to take care of themselves now, but they refuse furiously to be put in a nursing home. This story... I don't know, I guess they're right.
