Ada Keating, 98, has joined her eldest son Tom in Moss View Care Home in Liverpool, England.

Tom became a resident at Moss View in 2016 because he needed more care and support. Just over a year later, Ada decided to move into the same assisted-living home because "you never stop being a mum".

Ada and Tom are inseparable and love spending time together playing a game or watching Emmerdale, according to Moss View staff.

"I say goodnight to Tom in his room every night and I'll go and say good morning to him," Ada, a former auxiliary nurse, said.

"When I go out to the hairdressers he'll look for me to see when I'm coming back. When I get back he'll come to me with his arms outstretched and give me a big hug."

Tom is happy he gets to spend more time with Mom, too.

"They're very good here and I'm happy to see my mum more now she lives here," he told the Liverpool Echo. "She's very good at looking after me. Sometimes she'll say 'Behave yourself!' "
