Can Firstport evict a homeowner with dementia

[Violetviolin]

Anyone any experience of dealing with First port and dementia? How much leverage does First Port have in evicting residents who cannot manage independently anymore and what would happen to the property in this case (owner /leasholder).

it will be hard to answer without more details, such as what type of accommodation, have they served notice, what are the reasons given, is that in line with the terms and conditions of the lease.

Sorry yes my post was very light on detail. Tbh I haven’t seen the lease yet but my mum is the leaseholder (bought privately). It’s a retirement properly and you have to be capable of independent living when you buy it. She was diagnosed with dementia and Alzheimer’s last year and has since had two break ins. Overall she lives very well independently for now but there was a security review meeting today and I got the very strong sense the manager and other residents would definitely push for her to go into a home if they could as they feel she is putting the building at risk. It was a nasty, spiteful meeting especially as many old people can be subject to exploitation and fraud / theft not just those with dementia. I came away thinking ‘I bet they are putting their ducks in a row.l’ I obviously need to read the lease properly but in the meantime wondered if anyone had experienced anything similar?

The flats in question are /were very light on security (no cameras etc) and I fear First Port are trying to pass on the buck to my mum to negate their incompetence.

Oh and the manager told me that homeowners are not allowed ring doorbells due to data protection which seems absurd in a building of vulnerable people.

It is quite hard to evict an owner unless there is something specific in the leasehold agreement that has been seriously breached. So you really need to read the leasehold agreement carefully first.

They have no authority to put her in care and social services would have to be involved. Who tend to aim to keep a person in thier own home.

Is there any care services that you could put in to place?

Also i would re post on elderly parents as someone there might no more.

I went through very similar with my mother who had her own McCarthy Stine flat. She was however breaching the conditions by not allowing them in to do mandatory safety checks.
i got a lot of phone calls basically telling me I needed to do something and lots of veiled threats made in that they would need to take action. Nothing happened. Then she died 2 weeks ago not even a condolence from her house manager.
stick to your guns about how much you will be involved and definetly try get carer support in if not already. It’s a long road to get her out

A million thanks you guys!- I’ve got some reading to do but it’s so reassuring to hear that it’s not a simple matter to evict!
