This is going to sound so mercenary, but...

It is unavoidable that parent goes into more suitable accommodation and sells their place. They need to be safer and several carers each day isn't cutting it.

I'm all for residential accommodation but this will mean any assets will be spent on the fees up to £23,250.

As far as I understand £3k can be gifted each year without breaking any laws. Is this correct?

I have a sibling so that would be £3k each per year.

I had an email from solicitor today about house sale and get on well with him so could ask him to check this isn't illegal. Thanks!

And...we now have care home sorted. I did blink a bit at the prices (£1,400 per week!) but meals all included, she's only going to go backwards not forwards.

It does stress me out getting woken up at 4am as she's had a fall. The ambulance can get there quicker than I can and I can't lift her.

Best resolution really.

It also includes all household bills, laundry, council tax, staff, activities. It's good she is settled and safe and hope she settles in.

@HappyHamsters thanks :)

It can't go on like it is
