Hi, my husband who suffers from Parkinson's disease dementia had to go to a nursing home assessment bed after 3 weeks in hospital in November (2 weeks in isolation as a fellow patient got covid) and I couldn't cope at home with his falls and the stress of keeping him safe. We have just been turned down for CHC funding. A social worker phoned yesterday to start the process of who pays. My husband has £16,000 savings.but I don't have an income at all. He is 74 and I'm 61 so no state pension for me for a while. He has a main pension and a.smaller local authority one plus his state pension. I'm so worried that they are going to leave me hardly anything to live on or cover the direct debits. I'm waiting for the financial assessment person to ring me. The nursing home is £850 a week. My husband has been awarded the £183 nursing care payment. They say he needs to be in a nursing home but I don't know Get why he didn't get CHC as his behaviour was unpredictable. He fell and broke his nose in.the home last week. I know I can appeal of I have the energy. I just feel so anxious about who is going to pay the difference between his nursing care payment and the home fees. Any advice is so welcome. Thank you.
