About two years is the usual life expectancy for those who are forced to go into care due to ill health.

Agreed.

Final point that may be relevant - I was looking to use the funds to keep him at home, funding live-in care, domiciliary care to help with getting to and from bed morning and night (mobility was non-existent). Plus me spending 4 days a week there, keeping all the plates spinning with medical, care and support services, taking him out etc.

He had Parkinson's (with dementia latterly). Perhaps the fact that the care was to be provided at home may have made a difference to the quote. But even with that level of care, it still cost around the same as him moving to a care home (which he really didn't want to do).

Suppose the overall point I'm making was the initial quote was frustratingly and wildly different from the 'real' quote. Just my personal experience, of course, but wonder if it's a bit more widespread.
