Mum had a fire due to forgetting about a small electric fire in lounge, she was taken to hospital for smoke inhalation , I phoned adult social services (who knew mum had vascular dementia 9 months ago,but said she could cope at home ) I said we did not have room at our house and they would need to find respite care, they placed her in dementia home , then 4weeks later did another assessment and said she was unable to look after herself , we are now coming to the end of 12 week disregard and have a bill for 850.00 pw , we are unable to put house on market as still being repaired after fire, what do you advise, we have just found 2 x charges on house but her financial ass says we have to sell house to fund care, surely if sent to care home from hospital she shouldn't have to pay?
