Immediate Needs Annuity - where to start?

Thanks everyone, I'd almost forgotten to check back.
She does get attendance allowance (I need to check if she can get the higher rate), and she does have a long list of medical conditions which I can never remember. I guess when I say she's in excellent health I mean that she's still got all her marbles, can feed herself and is mobile over short distances with a stick. I also mean relative to many of the others in the home. However, I realise it's easy to lose perspective - she was still driving herself to sainsburys four years ago and dealing with the garden all by herself so in many ways there's been a big deterioration. She's got enough capital to see her to 104, but I keep thinking about my other grandmother who died younger but lived many years after reaching the sort of stage my gran's at now.0
