Nursing home fees.

[BIG DAD]

I notices a question on nursing home fees and wanted toask a question, my Nana is in a home with dementia and my mum has had to sell her house and use the money to pay for her fees, i dont think this is right, she has heard they can appeal against this and received a form but after filling it in she was told it would cost £5000 + to go ahead with the claim, does anyone have any knowledge of this.
Thanks

[ummmm]

Yeah, that's annoying.

What is more annoying is the staff taking money off him!!

Claims had to start by 30 September in England

Are you in England, Wales or Scotland, though- it makes a difference

Ummmm - can I ask a question here - when your gramps's money runs out for both he and your grandma - will they be "evicted" to a cheaper NHS home.

[ummmm]

I doubt they will live that long.

Nan moved to her new home about 6 months ago because they previous home went bust. This home is far far superior, like a hotel in fact, but doesn't cost that much more than the last one.
