MIL has mixed vascular dementia alzheimers. Deemed to no longer have mental capacity.
We have just had the call to say a room is available in our much preferred care home. She went for a trial day and so they could see how she is and they said her dementia is very advanced and she will need to be on their nursing wing.
Less than 15 K in savings and owns own home.
Deputyship applied for in the last week, told approx time scale 16 weeks to decision.
We have to make decision with care home tomorrow regarding wanting the bedroom and proof of funds.
Anybody been in this scenario? What do we do?
*** Most important question Has anybody been granted an urgent deputyship to be allowed to sell a house to pay for a care home?
Really dont want to lose the room as the wait could be forever a space to be available again and she needs the care now
