I'll try and give you a short version, My mum died 7 weeks ago. Since then, dad has been taken in to hospital and diagnosed with terminal cancer. Hospital put in a fast track for NHS continuing care, which has been accepted. Viewed a nursing home and was told it was £200 top up per week 😕 Called social worker who said top up fees for nursing homes were pretty standard £100-200 per week. Asked if Dad's pension will cover it - she says he lacks capacity which myself and his nurses disagree with so can't pay so down to me. I can't pay so I tell her. She comes back and tells me while I'm waiting for POA to be sorted, I can take/transfer money from his account to pay his top up fees, and I'm to sign a letter agreeing to pay top up fees tomorrow. This doesn't sit right with me and I'm very unsure, how can I do this when according to her he lacks capacity? What do I do? I'm really concerned.
