Beyond shocked/ angry. Had decided to be calm and try to accept all that has happened with dad and this bloody awful illness, try to focus on enjoying my time with him. Dad been in care home since last March. The deterioration has been rapid, physically and mentally- I've struggled to keep up. I have POA and had rented dad's house out, with his pensions etc, shortfall was manageable from my income... Then.. 10percent rise in care home fees!!! 1 months notice, I have to find £380 more per month. I don't think I could move dad because he's so frail now. I would have sold his house immediately if I thought for a minute the fees could be increased to this level with no notice, but now have a tenant in situ. What other 'business' would get away with this?? Unbelievable. My dad is not a rich man, has a modest 2 bedroom house, but the letter from care home explains that the fees have gone up for self funding residents because of council cuts... I really thought I was doing my best,for dad and my brothers.. Now I'm up the creek. Really don't know what to do :-/
