me and my husband are in a dilemma as to what to do with my father in law who is refusing to pay for his wife’s care. Basically, mother in law is 88, had a fall at home, taken to hospital 8 weeks ago, and 3 weeks ago was transferred to a care home for assessment. She has undiagnosed dementia which nose dived following her fall. Nothing was broken when she hit the floor but she is incredibly unstable and now shuffles with a walking frame. My father in law, has and is a tight arse. We are talking about having no heating on to save money and sitting in a coat, eating food that’s gone off etc. They live in a rented house and pay full rent due to their savings being £160k. Me and my husband believe that mother in law is looked. After well in a care home as she’s warm, fed and has her meds regularly, she is supervised and checked in on regularly. But he wants her home, he says he’s not paying for care and is now trying to hide the money in different accounts to avoid fees. We have explained it’s 50/50 her money and it’s a deprivation of assets. He doesn’t care and said their (social services) are not having it. Any idea on what we can do to ensure mother in law has the care she needs? He is a very unloving and uncaring husband- no different to how he’s been the 40 years I’ve known him!
