CHC funding is available in any setting including your own home and residential care. It is perfectly possible to have a combination of complex qualifying medical needs which can be managed in a residential home. My MIL was awarded CHC in just such a setting.

Regarding his ISA's you make it sound like he was Guy Fawkes. In many government assessment situations ISA's are disregarded although probably not in this case. As he was paying 80% of his at home care costs it won't make a substantial difference. Nevertheless the OP is right if he is to get involved this situation should be sorted out and the assessment for residential care done with a clean slate.

You are, of course, quite right about CHC being provided in any setting. In reality, however, I doubt there are many residential care homes that will accept those in need of CHC.

I did not mean to make the OP's father sound like some hardened criminal. He has, however, technically committed fraud.
