Anyone know the basics of what elderly relative has to pay/can claim?

Has carers currently, but now assessed as needing an assisted living place. Have found a care home (not visited due to covid Hmm but has decent reputation locally). My god they're expensive aren't they?!!!!

Anyway house on market so presume will have to self fund the lot is that right? Relative currently receives pension and attendance allowance? Will they be able to continue to receive both?

Not what we thought we'd be dealing with a week before Christmas but there you go... Advice gratefully received.

Sorry you are having to deal with this- before Christmas is extra hard.

@hatgirl may be able to advise but certainly contact social services- she may be eligible for some funding from nhs continuing healthcare etc... depending on her needs.
Our la allowed deferred payments until the house was sold.
Care home admin may be able to advise- or age uk?
