I'm sure I saw a thread on this somewhere here but having spent 20 minutes searching I'm afraid I couldn't find it again. Maybe someone can point me in the right direction or perhaps help out?
Basically Mum is in a home in Norfolk. We are going to move her soon to Derbyshire so she can be in the same care home as her sister (both have dementia).
Obviously this will mean moving Local Authorities.
Right now she has her own funds (and a house) to last a few years, but in the case of this running out - let's say 5 years' time - I understand that the LA will step in (possibly topped up by us) to pay for the home.
Or is it the case that because she moved from one LA to another, the new LA might refuse to help out at all?
Any links to info on this or personal experiences would be more than welcome thank you!
