One thing i always notice when care home fees are mentioned and how to keep it safe, it's never the person going to the care home but relatives and one for thing, it's disgusting!!

Yes it's really curious that you don't get more people in their 80s and 90's with dementia posting on the internet. Apologies if you are part of this demographic.

That's not entirely correct. 117 aftercare applies where the housing is specifically required in order to support the mental health needs.

As they have dementia or alzheimer's surely this would apply in every case?

Apology accepted. We are part of this demographic although - so far - free of any form of dementia.

BTW, anyone over 75 with a hospital admission, for whatever reason, is now screened for memory loss. DH and I both passed with flying colours.
