What happens when the money runs out?

[Lippy1234]

I’ve started looking at care homes for my DM. She will have to sell her home which is worth around 275k and pay fees of approximately £1400 per week. So she only has enough funds for about 4 years of care. What happens when her money runs out? Do people actually get moved to cheaper care homes? She is only 68.

I’ve just applied for Attendance Allowance and that will help a bit towards the fees. My DM’s pension is very low so any extra is good.
