Hi , a while since I wrote on the forum , Eddie is now 83 and sadly in a nursing home , ( a specialist care centre) , he was taken there from hospital after a really bad UTI and I was advised that due to his aggressive behaviour it was best he didn't come home as I would be at risk , if you remember he also as advanced alzimers as well as metastatic prostrate cancer , I am at the moment paying for his care at £2000 a week ( it’s a lovely home ,but sadly that’s the only one at the time that would take him Due to the behaviour) and 6 months on he is settled there , my problem is thus , I can probably continue paying for another 6 months , but then what will happen ? When the money runs out ,,,, will they move him ,,,?
Hello Gena (Gena7)
I am sorry to read your post although as you say it's probably the best place for Eddie and as he's settled then yes and "it's a lovely home too".
I think I know the answer to your question but you are better speaking to the experts who may wish to ask you some personal financial questions so:
You could post your question here in "Ask an information and support adviser":
Ask an Information and Support Adviser
But your best bet is to ring our Support Line where they will either be able to put you through to a specialist or get you set up with a call back. For this service the best time to call is 9am to 5pm Monday to Friday on 0808 808 00 00 (it's a free call).
I do hope you get the information you need.
Best wishes - Brian.
