Hi - I wonder if anyone can advise me please. My mum was in 6 week respite care but the carehome said they were unable to meet my mums needs after this, but later told me that under ‘duty of care’ they can’t put her out on the street but will continue to look after her until a care package is found elsewhere. Two weeks later a care home was found and accepted even though the new carehome said the SW did not inform them of wanting the room so another delayed week. Now my mum has been in this carehome for 3 weeks and is a self funder for about two months, the SW informed me today that I may have to pay the charges for the overlap in the previous carehome. I pointed out that no-one had informed me of this extra charge and if they did I may have taken a different action. Do I have a argument here or are they within their rights to charge me?
