Mum going in care home?

[simpesimon]

I can't look after my mum anymore.
I've had a needs assessment and tomorrow is a carers assessment for me.
I'm going to tell them I can't do it no more and I want her to go in a care home.
She has dementia and is in a world of her own.
She has no savings.
What happens now?

The OPG website states that you can apply to be a Court appointed deputy for welfare decisions if needed.

It's extraordinarily rare for a welfare deputyship to be granted. I've not once come across it happening in over 10 years since the MCA came into being.

It exists for extremely difficult circumstances where no other option exists. I can only think of one situation professionally where it may have been appropriate and the court still didn't agree to it then.
