Hi,
Can anyone help me? My father is currently suffering with Alzheimers and is a voluntary patient in hospital (after having his sectioning removed). We had a meeting today at the hospital to discuss what happens next.
The decision has been made to find Dad a place in a nursing home. My first question is a general one. Does anyone have any helpful advice etc about the whole process of finding a suitable home?
Secondly, my parents situation is that they own their own home and also have enough savings to fund Dad's care costs for about six months or so. What happens after that. Assuming that SS agree to the home we have chosen, will they take over paying the costs when the money has run out, or will they expect Mum to sell the house? My mum seems to think that the 'debt' will be added up and that we will still be liable for it and that the SS will refund themselves from the eventual sale of the house, whether by my mother or by myself upon her death (hopefully many decades away!)
Help!!
