hello
my widower dad has been living in a independant living flat for 2 years its run by the council and is warden assisted
he has been diagnosed with dementia and gone downhill fast in recent weeks
he is 87 and keeps foregtting things, he can rememebr everything from years ago, but not 10 mins ago
he s lost his wallet twice has been hallucinating getting agressive, he has a carer 3 times a day to make sure he eats and takes his medicines
he has recently been ringing up 111 and 999 asking them to take him shopping
the council are charging him for everything since he left his house, still on the market after 2 years very rundown and not worth much
the place charges my dad 176 aw eek rent plus all bills, care charges etc on top and make him have a cleaner too he is unable to do much now for himself. has a electric buggy
since he has been there he has lost 30k due to more outgoings that in comings
im the only child and executor of his will and he wants me to have whats left,i believe they are fleecing him of his money by charging him even for food
im currently applying for lpa and the solicitor says it will cost by dad 600 if they think he is still menatally capalble
the housing officer there hinted that soon i should start looking for a nursing home
i do not want a care home to take whats left of his money its not fair or right and its my inheritence his money would only last maybe couple of months anyway
can he qualify for nhs continuing care so he can get all care for free?
he has 2 pensions
or is the best option to make him live with me, that way no one can steal his money or pensions
what are my rights and what can i do?
