My mother in law has dementia and was earlier this year sectioned under section 3. We have now been informed this has been recinded thought she will recieve financial care under section 117. We now have to look for a dementia nursing home for her, which I have begun to look into today however I'm trying to establish at what level financially the section 117 covers. I am told local authorites cover up to £800 a week for care but most of the homes I've called today charge anything from £1300 upwards. Whilst we, as a family can help in some ways we cannot afford £500 per week.
Whilst I'm trying to get clarification, can anybody shed any light for me
Thanks in advance
