Please click on the question which most closely matches your enquiry: -
- What is Attendance Allowance? How do I find out if my elderly mother qualifies for it?
- What are the Local Authority’s current thresholds for helping with my father’s residential care costs?
- My aunt owns her home but needs to go into nursing home care. My mother, her widowed sister, has made her home with my aunt since my father’s death. If the house needs to be sold to meet my aunt’s care costs, what will happen to my mother?
- My husband is becoming forgetful. As he has always dealt with the domestic finances, I am worried about how these will be dealt with if he gets worse. My son has mentioned a ‘Power of Attorney’ but I don’t really understand what that involves?
- My mother, who is now 82 but in good health, is always urging my brother and me to arrange for the title to her home to be changed into our names, as she fears that at some time in the future she may need to go in to nursing home care, in which case our ‘inheritance’ may be used up in paying nursing home fees. We fear there may be dangers in such a course – are we right?
