Hello everyone. I hope everyone is coping ok. I am sorry I have not been on TP for quite a while as I have had problems with my dad again. However, I do have a problem and thought someone out there may be able to help me.
My dad has had Alzheimer's for about six years and now is in the latter stages of the disease. He has been in a home since February. My sister and myself lost our mom three years ago and we looked after dad at his home for two years until we had no choice but to put dad in a home. Mom and dad never had any money to speak of, the lived in a council house and never had a bank account. Unfortunately, we never sorted out Power of Attorney. However the problem is that dad has had a bit of inheritance left him (only £700) but the cheque is in dad's name. We wanted to pay for a bit of entertainment for dad at the home for Christmas with it. But my own bank does not think there is anything I can do.
I would be very grateful if anyone had any ideas.
Thank you so much.
Take care everyone,
Rosie Webros
