Raising cash for care home fees

coinchaser

Hi all

Just wondered if anyone had any advice please?

My mum is in a care home and to continue the funding we are selling her house (goes on the market next week).

However we need to raise a bit of money for the interim care, especially as the house may not sell quickly in today's rocky sea of financial turbulence.

We thought we could get a loan against the house but we can't as she no longer resides there. We are all out of money - so thinking of a loan/credit card at % for 6 months - but it's all a bit of a gamble...

We are looking in region of £10,000 I guess

Any ideas gratefully received?

What have the home where she is said?? I would have thought they could perhaps help you here or the social services perhaps. Its soo sad when this happens.

Please speak to your local council social services as they normally have a deferral scheme whereby they keep adding up what you owe & take it out of the cost of the house once it's sold.
