Hi,
It looks like our battle to keep my mum at home with my dad is almost over and a care home is the only option. At the moment my mum will be self funding but only for a few weeks.
Does anyone know to what extent existing and ongoing financial commitments weigh in the balance. For example my mum owns half my parents house. I understand that it’s value will be disregarded as my dad will still live there, but what happens to the joint ongoing bills. For example there are management fees, ground rent, insurance etc.
How does this fit into any assessment.
Hope this makes sense.
