I am looking for my mother to go into a very good care home specifically for dementia sufferers. She has approximately £150,000.00 in savings. Can anyone tell me if she would be entitled to financial help from social services?

She won't get help from Social services unfortunately.

Hello and welcome to Talking Point

The Society has a series of factsheets which you may find useful, particularly this one

Paying care home fees

FedupinLowestoft is right - your mum's savings take her well above the threshold and she is likely to be self-funding. The one advantage of this is that you are not at the mercy of soccial services and can choose the home you want and when you want to make the move.
