Hi everyone,
I have posted on here many times and been grateful for all the advice and support that Ihave received.
Latest query is as follows.
My husband is about to be discharged in the next few weeks under section 117. In the opinion of the hospital team he needs an EMI dementia nursing home as he has complex needs. At the meeting, I got the impression that he would be fully funded 50/50 by the NHS and SS.
Our local council provide a care home list and I have been phoning them from this list this a.m, plus I’ve spoken to his allocated S.S. She told me that I would have to pay top up fees of varying amounts depending on which home my husband went to. Is she correct?
I understood that if I chose a home that is not on the council list and is more expensive I would have top up fees to pay but now I am totally confused.
Is my husband fully funded 50/50 by the NHS and SS or are we expected to pay top up regardless.
Help please!!!!
