Hi all,
I'm new to this site so first of all hello!
I wanted to know if anyone knows the answer to my question.
Last year my 90yo nan started to act a bit odd & kept making errors, mixing up dates ect. This was the start of an aggressive dementia.
She has changed dramatically and she is currently living with my mother but it's taking its toll on her and the stress is all a bit much. The psychological stress is very demanding and my mother is becoming increasingly emotional as it's taking over her life, even with the odd bit of help from carers.
My nan is now double incontenant and can barely walk due to the illness. We can't have a conversation with her anymore as she doesn't know what's going on.
My question is this, my nan still owns a property which is currently vacant but we are reluctant to sell the property to pay towards putting her in care. I have heard, although it's a very grey area that if someone is doubly incontenant they are entitled to free care through the NHS.
Can anyone please put any clarity on this please?
Thanks,
Stewart.
