Money is not a problem luckily. The problem is just her refusing any additional help and amendments to her house and then she will get really upset and distressed over it. We are going to fit a wet room downstairs too, hopefully we can get VAT exempt materials if I look into that. Unfortunately this particular lady that came round said she needs to refer on to another individual to review the means for a stairlift and any contributions towards it, so we don’t know right now to be honest
It’s so slow and painful isn’t it ?
That’s why we have this forum, the ‘simple’ never is !
Even when you don’t get the ‘correct ‘ answer to your problems it’s just nice to chat to people who have sympathy and understanding of what you are going through!
One potential tip, would be to look at the compassionate communication thread and see if it offers any inspiration for ‘selling ‘ the shower room idea.
Some time ago a loft insulation salesman got my mother to write out a cheque for £5800 for loft insulation the property didn’t even need. I don’t know what he said to my mother but she was parroting ‘ I need to invest in my bungalow’ and ‘ this will put additional value on the property when it is sold’.
So I suppose I am saying think about an approach where you don’t talk about her needs ( which can kind of be taken as criticism, you need the shower room because of what you can’t do) but labour the fact she needs to keep her property ‘up to date’ and give it the modern facilities That future buyers might want?
