Dh grandmother is now setting into a care home. Dh is awaiting POA and we with other family members are starting to look to the future as she has under £23000 savings that are going to disappear quickly. So we're looking at house sale. Anything we have missed? I'm thinking we need to sell asap to fund care.
Dh grandmother obviously still has capacity and understands what is going on and has agreed this needs to be done- (shes shocked at the cost of the home and sad she has to sell as she wanted to split it to give to family!)

To meet Chc checklist it's above residential level needs with nursing needs unless complex residential placement with unpredictable behaviours that would have already been identified

CHC criteria is set so incredibly high that it's hard to meet CHC checklist and extremely high to meet DST CHC criteria , very few clients meet that criteria.

Thanks all. I dont think nursing care is needed just residential care. @Tiani4 thanks for all the advice I'll get the ball rolling.

Going through this now with my Mum. The house is on the market . Probably about 2 years worth of care . Then when it gets to £23k the council will get involved and I think she will have to pay some more until it goes down again . The law changes next Oct when it’s £83 K . It’s cheaper to have carers come in if that would help
