Hello, my Mum who is 85 is really struggling in her house which is cluttered and needs so many repairs. Her mobility is very limited, she can't go out anywhere. She has been in and out of hospital a lot since August. She has had a heart stent fitted, that is all good but she has very regular uti, like literally one after the other. She was in hospital for 2 days last week as she had a fall and now she is waiting for an ambulance which her gp has organised to take her back into hospital because of this recurring uti. She has said that she can't cope and wants to go into a care home, she would give me power of attorney. Does anyone have any advice or experience dealing with this type of situation? I live 3 hours drive from her but she wants to be in a care home near me.

V good advice to get POA in place before you need it.
Prices vary hugely. MIL was paying £900 a week for indifferent care in Shropshire, but £625 for much better in West Yorkshire.
