Hospital put her there .but social services told us she wouldn't be safe for her to go home. My sister 57 I'm 55 . She was in hospital 4 weeks then I'm the home 4 weeksfirstly did the social services put her in care or did you?
How old are you and your sis? How long has she been tgere
Right well if they put her in the home then the contract is between social care and the care home ( so cheaper ). She should get 12 weeks free ( that’s standard)Hospital put her there .but social services told us she wouldn't be safe for her to go home. My sister 57 I'm 55 .

Someone from work is buying a house from someone going into assisted care and was telling me (their estate agent told them so it may be completely wrong) that if you have over a certain amount in your bank (I think she said around 40/50k) the care home or whoever it means is can apply for that money, so people in that situation will put someone else on the deeds (the lady had her sons on it) so the money is shared between them (obviously you have to trust them not to take the money) as it can prevent you from getting more financial help if you have all that money. As I said this may be completely wrong and anyone feel free to correct me!!! But might be something to look into. Hope you’re ok XHi can eany one help .

This happened to my auntie and her mum. Her dad had to sign the house over to her and her brothers otherwise they can force you to sell it to pay for the care #bastards.Hi can eany one help .

Probably too late to put yours or your sisters name on the deeds it has to be done more than 7 years ago. I think the figure for savings they can’t touch is £23000Someone from work is buying a house from someone going into assisted care and was telling me (their estate agent told them so it may be completely wrong) that if you have over a certain amount in your bank (I think she said around 40/50k) the care home or whoever it means is can apply for that money, so people in that situation will put someone else on the deeds (the lady had her sons on it) so the money is shared between them (obviously you have to trust them not to take the money) as it can prevent you from getting more financial help if you have all that money.

Where doing this at the momentHave they done a continuing healthcare assessment yet? If eligible then she may not need to pay anything towards her care
I will keep everything crossed for you. It is a gruelling process.Where doing this at the moment
If we sell the house do we keep the money and pay the care home or do they keep all the money?Right well if they put her in the home then the contract is between social care and the care home ( so cheaper ). She should get 12 weeks free ( that’s standard)
My
Mother in law was put into a home by social care so the fee was less and after the 12 weeks they will do an assessment of your mums finances. They won’t force you to sell the house but if she has no other money they will expect the fees paid from the proceeds at some time in the future even if it’s after she passes ( sorry to be blunt)
If the contract is between social care and the home ( which it should be ) we were advised that my mil’s finances were none of the homes business ( as they may try to add additional fees )
My mother narrowly avoided going into a home at Xmas as she died the day after they told us she couldn’t come home and would have to go into care.
however my sister who was over 60 lived with her some of the year ( as she travels a lot ) so mums house would have been discounted in their calculations.
hope that helps
