More nursing homes are considering revising their fees in the coming weeks.

One already has, and the fee hike has taken its clients by surprise. The New Paper learnt that starting from this month, Peacehaven Nursing Home will be increasing its fees by between $60 and $160 a month.

And the same will soon happen at other homes, which may cause more families to default on their payments, say observers.
