Hi all. I hope you can give some advise as i am not sure who to trust anymore. We get conflicting information from whoever we ask.
Mam is about to go into a carehome, after 5 years being in her own home living with mixed dementia, and 4 carers and family. The care home have assessed her and will decide in the next day or so.
I am a joint name on her bank account and we have LPO for her finances. We have been asked for all her bank statements for 2 years. We have told them we are looking at CHC. I am not sure we will get it, but feel angry that i didnt even know about it until I came onto this forum! So they can wait 😄.
My question is what happens now? How do we pay for the care home? Do they usually invoice monthly? Will they wait while we get all the CHC (or not) sorted.
The LA just said we have 12 weeks to put the house on the market, but we wanted to do some urgent repairs before we did this, are we alllowed and use Mams money? We think we need to get the best price possible. So basically any information is more than we know right now.
Thank you
