Hi,
My husband has early onset Parkinsons Disease and early onset Alzheimers Dementia. He is currently in a residential home but things have reached crisis point and they are giving him 4 weeks notice to leave as they cannot deal with his aggression anymore and I have to go to the home this afternoon. They are contacting Social Services today to arrange for a new assessment and to give me help in finding a new home that can better cater for his needs. We pay £422.40 every 4 weeks towards his care and the Local Authority pay the rest. If the new home is more money will the Local Authority try and make us pay more? OH had a financial assessment last time and they agreed the amount he had to contribute. I know that I do not have to and neither will I disclose what money of my own I may or may not have.
I always knew this day would come but I feel so lonely and desperate and wish I wasn't here sometimes. I have had very bad experiences with our Local Authority and Iam dreading the pantomime that will inevitably now ensue. We are both only 64 and have been dealing with these horrendous disease for about 7/8 years now. I really don't know which way to now turn. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
