Where to put £250,000?

For me this is not where to "put £250k" - this is about looking after my grandfather and doing what is best for him.

In my experience, older people function best in familiar surroundings and I would fight to be able to keep my older relation living in their own home for as long as I could. In this case your GF has had a stroke but is still alive and through treatment and most importantly nutrition he could recover and lead a good quality life for some time yet. It is ABSOLUTELY not on to be considering selling his home at this stage - and in my view not until it becomes absolutely necessary in order to pay for treatments or similar.

All very imho - and best of luck to your GF!

I wish it was as simple as that, moving into the nursing home is unavoidable. He has asked that we either sell the house or rent it out, it is no longer any use to him. But thank you for your honest opinion.
