I was giving an example to where my wife's granny, moved in to a care home, she sold her flat, used the proceeds to fund her care, which got down to a certain amount, leaving the rest to her.
This was a few years ago, so things may have changed, I guess...
I maybe wrong, but you only have to pay up to a certain amount for care, leaving some funds to the person, then the rest is payed by local authorities?
