I've heard from my sister that dm has had a mild stroke last week. The reason I heard from dsis is that me and dm have been NC for 7 years. I live an hour away and dsis abroad (Europe)
Dsis has spoken to the doctor today who says that he recommends 24 hour nursing home care, and neither me or my sister know where to start. I can go for a meeting with the doctor and his secretary, and I can contact the local council tomorrow.
Dm owns her own house, I don't know what other assets she has or her day-to-day finances. There is no df, she has a carer with whom I believe she also has a personal relationship, he doesn't officially "live with" her. I hear that he is a nice person dealing with a difficult situation too and that he means well.
Do you have any advice on how I deal with the council when neither I nor my dsis have any real knowledge of dm's finances, other than the house, which can be valued. What sort of questions should I ask the doctor when I see him, about care and rehabilitation?
