We are looking at my partner moving back to where he comes from ( 200 miles away) to be nearer to his family. I have been assessed as having come to the end of my tether as his carer..
He is unable to fund himself, but has income of about £280 per week excluding AA. He has no savings and we rent our home.
The care home his son looked at yesterday costs £950 per week. of which his son was told the council would expect to pay £595. The son thought that the £280 would be added to that taking it to £875. Since my partner has medical conditions including a stoma that he cannot manage, his son thought that the shortfall might be funded by NHS continuing health care.
Social Services have said that my partners pension would go to offset the £595 that they would be paying and that my partner is not entitled to continuing health care as the stoma can be dealt with within the community.
Can anyone who has jumped through these hoops please advise me which is correct or does it vary throughout the country?
many thanks
