AT LEAST 150 Barbadians seek admission to nursing homes on a daily basis.
In view of that, Minister of Health Donville Inniss yesterday reiterated the need for people to prepare for their golden years when they were in their prime.

“There is a mindset that the state will always have money and resources to house all who need to be housed. That is a myth we have to face up to.”
