What can my mum do with her money?

Yep, it's cheaper to go on a world cruise, if you are able that is...................

Certainly the OP should look into care home costs but putting in figures like £60,000/year and higher rates of £7,400/month when you don't know where they live or standard costs in that area is not very helpful.

Care home fees are expensive but that's extortionate, I've never heard of fees even close to that. Where in the country is that and what do you get for the money? I'm willing to bet this certainly isn't a council run home!

It's in Beaconsfield, Bucks - a pretty expensive place to live - and no, it's not a council run home. I only gave the paperwork a cursory read, but the highest costs would be for those receiving high level nursing/ dementia care.

My 92 year old father went into a care home last week in N Herts. Not exactly a cheap area, and his fees are £950 pw. It would be £750 if no nursing care was required. A lot of money but at least he can choose where to go.
