My mate has just had his mother inlw go through the same thing,,
she became bed ridden,,so the health visitors made her go into care,,no other way,,they dictated it,,anyway in a few months the bill was already £150,000,,she lasted a few more months, so i dont know the final cost,,,
But i am led to believe that if YOU or any other family member lives in the house,his house then they cannot take it or any part of it to pay for home care fees,,
