“Over half of men aged over eighty-five who have been in hospital overnight will die within twelve months… A move into care is a warning flag too; only around half of those who move into a care home will still be alive a year later… because the things that cause a move into care are also events that suggest that someone’s life may be nearing its end. Pg255”
