Hi, My FIL has advanced Dementia and has lost mental capacity (Assessed by Social Workers and his GP)
My Wife is sole LPA for both Finance and Welfare.I am Reserve Attorney, My FIL is a Widower.
We have promised him that Care Homes would be the last option when he can no longer care for himself, and
would look to care for him ourselves in our Four Bed Detached in Cheshire (both my Wife and I are retired).
Rather than spend £400 pound plus Solicitors fees applying through the Court pf Protection, can anyone advise on using Donors money to convert an Integral Garage at our house into a self-contained 'Grannie Flat for FIL.
Looking at costs of Care Home fees (£30,000 - £40,000 per year), the cost of the conversion would pay for itself in one Year.
I am sure this is not uncommon in our circumstances and would appreciate any experiences other Forum members may have had.
