MIL's 12 week disregard ends tomorrow, self-funding from Friday but house not yet sold. Application for Deferred Payment in with LA, not yet approved. Offer today of a place at our preferred CH, assessment tomorrow, move on Friday if approved.
It all seems to fit together and we are so hoping that the new CH will be more comfortable for us all.
En suite toilet, more open spaces to wander around in, daily activities, closer to family for visiting and the possibility of taking MIL out into town for meals without getting tired and stressed by car journeys.
Funding is an issue, but she has enough to cover 6 months or so of self-funding before her property is sold, even if we don't get approval from the LA for the Deferred Payment scheme.
We are worried about the upheaval for MIL but she doesn't really seem to know where she is now, although the CH staff say she has made friends. We think she will make new friends and will probably know some of the other residents from her past life living and working in our town.
She deserves to have the best of care. Wish us luck that all goes well and that we are making the right decisions.
