How did the situation resolve re your last thread about your mum, by the way ?
In this case, though, ask the care home, see what they say, alternatively, ask the care/support/social workers associated with your mum.
Often, the costs can be/are deferred so ask about that too.

The NHS have the responsibility unless the care home are given a clear test. Until then she's not been formally discharged.

All our local care homes refuse to accept hospital discharge patients unless they have tested clear and they have visibility of the test paperwork
