I am horrified at the thought that me & dh will have to find the money to pay for fil to be cared for in a home.

He owns a house worth about £90k can that be sold to pay? What happens when the Money runs out? Who pays then?

the initial care fees will be paid by the Local Authority putting a charge on his house

when he dies, if the house is left to dependants, they will take their cut and the rest will go to them

if the money runs out, fees are paid by LA (assuming you go for a LA home)
