Apologies as I am sure this has been asked many times before but it is only now that I am looking into care for Mum that I have considered it.
Mum has savings and proceeds from property that would last about 7 years in most of the care homes I have looked at. But what happens after that? I know the LA will step in and pay to a ceiling of so much but I understand that may only be around £600pw, a little more than half of what they charge round here.
I have a disabled daughter and gave up work around 8 years ago when Mum came to live with us so I have no income at all. What would happen?
