Not sure if i'm in the correct category?
My disabled mother is required to permanently move into a carehome.Social services have informed her that she will have to sell the house to pay for this.She has a small mortgage remaining on the property.Her partner[my stepfather]has just died and she is very worried at this prospect. Does anybody know a way of avoiding the house being sold?

If your Mum actually needs full time nursing care it's possible the NHS would pay the cost, but you might have to fight for this.Trying to keep it simple...

Its a bit late now. Sorting out things like this need to be done before requiring nursing care.
Any action to remove the property from her ownership by you would be seen as trying to avoid responsibility.I am an Independent Financial Adviser (IFA). The comments I make are just my opinion and are for discussion purposes only. They are not financial advice and you should not treat them as such. If you feel an area discussed may be relevant to you, then please seek advice from an Independent Financial Adviser local to you.0 -
My colleague's mother had to go into a nursing home with Alzheimers, and the children had to sell her house to fund the costs. Sorry.Touch my food ... Feel my fork!0

Should the NHS be paying?
