Scottish Nursing Home Dilemma

Miss_Poohs

Hope someone here can offer advice. 

My friend owns half of a mortgage free property with his mother, a modest ex local authority property. 

Said elderly mother (in her 90s) is going into a nursing home. 

My friend, who is 65 is now worried sick they will sell his home (or half the value of it), to pay for the nursing home. 

I have absolutely no experience of this - could anyone here shed any light?

The value of the home will in this case be disregarded.

Thank you KxMx. 

He is in a real spin about this, understandably. 

I shall let him see this hopefully it will settle his fears a bit.
