I under some confusion as to whether the local council will force me to sell my mother home to fund her care.
After my father died my Mother transferred her property to me, this was 7 years ago, then my Mother was diagnosed. During these & years my mam has lived in the house paying all the bills & looking after herself.
It is now become difficult to care for her in her home & feels she is on the brink of professional care. The family are applying pressure for me to place her in care. This is the last thing she wants & gets quite upset at the thought of going into care.
This all new to me with countless horror stories, I am an only child working away from home, my wife is acting as unpaid carer every day & I feel so guilty that she is caring for my Mother, who she did not have a good relationship previousley, when she has both of her own parents who she feels she is abandoning.
