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
