My Mum has to have 24 nursing care when she leaves hospital I am trying to work out what she will have left after its all paid for - she has no savings or property so I know that she will have her personal care and her nursing care paid for by social services and the nhs between them and we will top up any extra fees
Before she went into hospital Mum was living in a sheltered housing flat with carers on site but she won't be able to go back to this, she gets housing benefit to cover her rent and rates, pension credit and higher level care allowance to pay for care as well as getting direct payments off social services to cover her going to the day centre 3 days a week - the direct payments were stopped shortly after she went into hospital, and presumably, once I give notice on her flat she'll lose her housing benefit
What I'm wondering is how much money will she have left roughly for her spending etc?
