Hi
I am 38 years old and have never moved out (unusual situation I know but it's the truth).
My father went into a care home last year when my mother could no longer look after him.
He has Lewy Body Dementia and Parkinsons.
This is part funded by social services.
My mother has been "unwell" pretty much ever since he went in. She has had psychotic episodes, depression, very poor memory, confusion and countless UTIs.
She has been under the mental health team for about 7 months now and is getting worse not better.
I wonder if the problems have always been there but only come to light once Dad was taken out of the situation.
She has had some dementia testing but it came back inconclusive due to her high anxiety state.
She has had a CT scan which was clear and more recently an MRI which we are waiting to hear the results for.
My concern is, if she has to go into care somewhere down the line, whereas with Dad the house was disregarded, could I be made homeless?
As I said previously, it is my home and always has been. My partner of 18 years has also lived with us for 17.5 years.
For us to simply find somewhere else to live would not be straightforward.
Hopefully you can understand my anxiety over this situation.
Thanks
