"We would rather die than live in a nursing home"

Did you know young people with disabilities are living in nursing homes? 

The podcast recently received an email from Peter in his email he commented how "he would rather die than live in a nursing home". That comment struck me and I wanted to explore this more. 

I hope you enjoy it.
