Hi, my dad has been diagnosed with vascular dementia a few months ago and while just being able to look after himself is starting to do things to endanger himself. Social adult care has agreed he needs 24 hour care but if he says no thy can’t force him. He is not keen on it and I can see him saying no.
I am self employed (poorly), single, no kids and no home.. and was wondering if I came to support him 24 hours (basically live with him) could I charge him. He has savings and would be willing to do this. What would be a reasonable amount to charge? And if he needed full on nursing home care later on would the money he paid me be counted as savings when he was eventually. financially assessed. There is no one else to care for him.
Thanks
