I have today been told that my mum can never be left on her own again so am debating whether to try having her home when she is discharged from hospital and see if she settles if the family can run a rota to support her Or whether it’s better for her to settle into a care home Straight away.
So far I can’t work out if she would need to self fund as she owns a small house or whether a charge can be put on her house for care fees or whether she would get some financial support . I can’t find out ball park figures for care home costs either so I can’t begin to work out if I can afford for her to go to residential care And what exactly I do if I can’t.
I am sure other people have faced this dilemma and wondered if anyone has some advice to get me started please.
I also wondered if anyone is self funding in the South East of England and knows basic costs involved in residential care.
Any help gratefully received
