Mum's care home is in Milton Keynes, her family is based in Surrey. Savings are low, near £23250. Mum is in a Dementia wing of a care home that she funds, but is nearing the protected amount of £23250 or there abouts. We need to move her closer to the family so that he visits are more frequent that just alternate weekends. Social services are putting up all barriers asking mum if she is happy where she is. We have tried looking for care home that would be funded by social services and none locally will take her on. How and what can we do, its like we have hit a brick wall...
You are in another part of the country that I know little about.
I do not know the laws, rules & help available to you.
a) I love England, and
b) it is amazingly helpful to know that our problems are international, universal.
I often hear that medical care, etc is the problem in the US and that it is done better elsewhere. That may be true, but when you have dementia and alz, does it really matter where it is? It is a problem!
Good luck!!!!!
