Woman "Disgusted" Over Increases In Nursing Home Fees

A Guilford Street woman is fit to be tied over the increasing cost of nursing home care.

Kelly Lester's husband is in a nursing home and confined to a wheelchair after suffering a stroke. She has been told her monthly fee to help pay for his care will be rising from 343 to 505 dollars as of June 1st.

Lester is worried about the monthly charge rising even more, perhaps up to 700 dollars or so.


Lester tells CHSJ News her husband's care is being subsidised by the government to the tune of 28 hundred dollars a month.
