I have been talking to a young lady that has a mother that has dementia that is getting very hard to look after at home,the daughter has a well documented history of mental health issues and even spends 2 days in therapy each week,she moved out of the family home to live with a partner as she couldn't cope with being in the family home as you could imagine it made her mental health worse.
Her brother that lives there is struggling now and she says that she's upset that the family home that her mother had worked hard to pay for will go on care fees,if her mother enters a home.
Can anyone give any advice as to how she could try and keep the home,if she moved back she would surely qualify for a disregard with her mental health history,she is still registered as living there is registered at the doctors and dentists with that address and stays there a couple of nights a week to help
When I spoke to her she was under the impression that she would be only able to stop there for 2 years if mum entered a home and the house would still be sold,but I said that's for a deffered payment,you would want to apply for a disregard as you qualify under the rules with your health matters,well I hope that's the case anyway.
Any help would be much appreciated
