I can understand the flip side of the argument and there has to be cast iron safeguards to make sure it is focused on the person doing what is right for them rather than family interference My mum has Alzheimer's and is now in care As she has savings she has to pay for herself at £1000 a week
1000 a week! 😳
That's cheap Mum has Alzheimer's and can't walk anymore They think she has forgotten how to walk and will have to learn again Her sister has Alzheimer's to and has complex care needs Her care is almost £1500 a week but the council fund that
OMG! Such a lot of money!!
When mum went into care it was £815 a week and went up to £1000 in April I think it's cost us about £20,000 so far since the middle of February
Bloody Hell!
My mum left all her savings to my sister in her will 3 years ago my mum drank a fair bit of whisky and I had to rush her to hospital They said if I hadn't she probably wouldn't have been there in the morning My sister told me recently when she found out about the care home costs and funding
That I should have just turned my back and left her to die I actually couldn't believe that a mother's daughter could come out with something so wicked We haven't spoken since
Horrific! Money really shows people up for who they are!
My stepfather left the house they lived in to his daughter His will says my stepsister gets the house once my mum has died When Claire found out mum was in a care home she phoned my husband and demanded the house keys Her son also phoned and said they wished my mum would hurry up and die
OMG!! Utterly horrific! ( Were you not left anything? If it’s ok to ask…)
No I wasn't My sister took my mum to make her will She split her savings between her granddaughter and my sister That's why I'm not so upset about the cost of the care
How utterly appalling!!!! However, karma will get her in the end. I actually believe that.
I do believe in fate and Karma 20 years ago my mum had a brain haemorrhage, level 5 should have killed her or left her disabled She had it on my late father's birthday, on a beach where mum and dad used to take us when we were little and it was close to the only hospital in the country
Yep. Karma. I can cite many examples
That was trialling a new procedure for treating brain haemorrhages and aneurysm
They said that if it had happened anywhere else she would be dead. It was Derriford hospital in Plymouth
