I would not be relying on council run care home. I would be selling the house to fund better treatment for my father.
Except that neither of the care homes mentioned in the reports cited is a "council run care home"; they are both privately owned and run.
Wyvis House is RDS Healthcare, Heather Bank is HC-One.0 -
The OP's father may be in a privately run care home but it is very common for the local authority to be paying the bulk of the fees with the resident/relative "topping up" the difference between the amount state provides and the private rate. In this case we have no evidence either way.
The OP states in an earlier post that the house was transferred to the kids way back in 1987 "to avoid inheritance tax" - given that this was 24 years ago this was a smart move and IF the LA is paying any of the care home fees it is highly unlikely that they would pursue any action that the sale 24 years ago was deliberate to avoid care fees.0
