Sheila Moore did not spend a lot of time thinking about where she would live as she got older. But she knew one thing for sure.
“If I have to go to a nursing home, fine, but I’d prefer not to.”
The 82-year-old woman’s home in Fredericton is filled with paintings, art, and photos of her children, grandchildren and her late husband.
“You don’t know what it’s like to have to leave your own home. It’s nice to be able to be in your own home with your own things.”
She plans to stay in it as long as she can.
