Young people in nursing homes

My friend sent this article to me (a long time ago :x) with the enclosed commentary:

I thought you'd be interested in the link below.  It's an article about the increasing number of people under 65 who are in nursing homes. It really is a tragedy.  We have an institutional bias when it comes to long term care funding.  It needs to be shifted so that most of the money is spent on community based care.
