Hi oliviajuliette
a good idea to get the LPAs (finance & property and health & welfare) sorted out - maybe do yours too, none of us know what's around the corner - do think of having more than one Attorney and to act jointly and severally, maybe even have a replacement Attorney named too

should your husband move into a care home, your house is not taken into account for funding as you are his spouse and will continue to live in it
it may be a good idea to separate out your finances, so it's easy for the LA to see what is not your husband's if a financial assessment is done - maybe have a chat with CAB
and the AS helpline support team have a lot of knowledge so a call to them may put your mind at ease:
0300 222 1122 or by email at
helpline@alzheimers.org.uk.
The helpline is usually open from 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday, and from 10am - 4pm at weekends
best wishes
