Do you know how much care costs?Yes absolutely
In my area carers cost £28 an hour, more at weekends and bank holidays (OH has carers in for 1 hour a day except Sunday)
Day care costs £60 a session (Im hoping that he will go one session a week)
Charity sitting services are usually about £20 an hour (once he cannot be left for even a minute and I need to go out somewhere)
Care homes are around the £1,000 a week mark (he has already had a few weeks in a care home for respite as I had reached carer burnout)
Still thinking of chipping in?
Edit to say that reading back this sounds harsher than I mean. Im actually extremely worried about you, and even more so for your sister. I know you wanted to do the best for your mum, but this is a total dogs dinner that is likely to come back and bite you. My own personal opinion is that you have been very poorly advised by your solicitor.
