98-year-old Mom Moves Into Senior Home So She Can Help Take Care Of Her 80-year-old Son

Contrary to popular belief, certain roles, like being a mom, are lifelong commitments. In a Liverpool care home, 98-year-old Ada Keating and her son, Tom, who is 10 years younger, shattered stereotypes. Ada joined the senior home a year after Tom, opting to care for him personally. Their inseparable bond began when Ada had Tom at 18, and it became a cherished tradition. The staff, accustomed to siblings or married couples, found the mother-and-son duo a delightful rarity. Despite their age, Ada’s daily routine of saying goodnight and good morning to Tom remained unchanged. Tom, grateful for their shared life, praised the caring staff, while Ada continued her role as a devoted mom, always looking out for him.
