My mum has been self funding her care for last 3 years with a live in carer as she is non mobile or weight bearing and has late stage dementia. Her speech is not understandable and needs a lot of prompting to eat and drink and takes a long time to eat and toileting. Now her money is running low. Below the max threshold. Have had a care assessment done by social services and they recon only needs 4 short visits a day and no overnight carer. Has anyone appealed against a council's allocation? It's a stressing time they are causing me.

It is highly unlikely Social Services will fund overnight care on a regular basis. They may provide it in emergency situations by offering residential respite care but certainly not long term.
I`m sorry to say you are very unlikely to get the same number of hours of funded care that you arranged by self funding.
