My neighbour is having to go into care due to dementia.
His son has been looking after him and has power of attorney and lives with his dad. His son is
40 and very stressed with it and suffering also from depression so I am making enquiries. He works,
his father is retired and only 69 and has deteriorated quickly in the past 2 years.
The father who is going into care has savings and owns the flat outright.
Will they have to sell up to pay for care or is there a way around that?
The great concern given where property prices are is house prices/rents so it is a massive
financial worry for the son.
