Hello, I have just joined this forum,
My Mother has LBD and Parkinsons, heart problems, myalgia, and for the last 10 days has been suffering from extreme threatening hallucinations 24/7.
My father is not getting any sleep and mum is up and down, in and out of bed, scared stiff that someone is going to shoot her , has called the police and more.
I have my mum to stay once a month for 2 nights to help my dad , which I will try and increase, but is difficult in her current state she needs 24 hour care ( she is following you around the house as she is scared) and I have a job and 3 children and live a 2 hour drive away .
I want him to get help from LA, but they want to ask q's about his finances and he refuses to do this. This is going to make him sick too- he is under a lot of stress, and he is worried that the LA will take sell their house from under their nose.
I really need to get an understanding of how this financially works as they need help like a day centre or a carer daily.
Are their savings looked at individually or jointly ?
Is there anyone "independent" I can go to to ask questions about this please ?
Many thanks
