Original Toronto Star caption: Looking for a home: All Ruth Ford wants is someplace to call her own. But it's an uphill fight for the tiny 92-year-old - she's been waiting six weeks for a place in a nursing home; and meanwhile; she's staying in Toronto East General Hospital room. I have no idea where I'll be going; she says. Three homes are possible.
