they are not refusing to give him care, and in fact are willing to pay a substantial amount for his care though. Just becaue it's not exactly what he wants doesn't mean an exeception must be made on the strength of what has happened in his younger life. If he hadn't been a pow would you think the same?
Being in a care home is not much different from being at in a flat - you have your own room, your own things around you, you can chose to stay in your room if you wish. How he knows he wouldn't like it is beyond me!
"I have got everything here. My family are near and my friends are near. I am nice and comfortable here and I’d not get that in a care home"
your family and friends can be near your care home. care homes can be very comfortable

I used to say, when I worked in the NHS, that if I ruled the world (well england) I would MAKE every adult person move house at least every 5 years. One of the biggest problems I faced was people who lived in very unsuitable circumstances, could easily have afforded to move (so not quite like this chap) but who, when it was suggested, would say "Oh I couldn't I have lived here all my life" One lady wanted to have her disabled husband sleep in the garden shed because she "couldn't" leave the house she was born in.
I have seen hired live in 24/7 care many times and the problems of making it work are horrendous, not just the funding but the sleeping arrangements, continuity, handovers and days off all make it difficult and risky.
I absolutely agree that no one should make anybody do anything....but sometimes circumstances conspire......
