Hi everyone! My Dad was diagnosed with Alzheimer's several months ago. I have POA, I have no siblings and my Dad's siblings do not really spend much time with him. Dad was assessed as requiring full time care, he has moved into a lovely home, the staff are fantastic, I can visit every day and my Dad is now very settled there.
The financial assessment has just been completed and the time has come to sell my Dad's house to pay for his fees.How much detail should I go into with my Dad? He never asks for home. But I feel sneaky selling the house without a full discussion with him, it is so difficult. Can anyone please advise? I'm stuck between wanting to be completely honest, and not wanting to upset him. What will I do if my Dad starts asking for home when the house is sold? It's such a worrying time!
