As a child, Ms Gillian Tee could not stand visiting nursing homes as they reminded her of the experience of her elderly nanny, who suffered from bone and breast cancer.
"I loved my nanny so much that I wouldn't be able to take it when I'd go into a nursing home and see all these old people. I couldn't go into a nursing home without feeling depressed," she told The Sunday Times. Her nanny had raised her until she was 10.
