It has come to the time when my elderly (90 and 87) parents would really like to be in a care home being looked after rather than struggling to stay independent. We have found somewhere nice and have fingers crossed that a vacancy will become available. Being the sole Potting offspring it is down to me to sort things out - have already got Powers of Attorney organised and registered to simplify things.
I am sure that there must be some on this forum who have "been there, done that" and I would welcome advice on your experiences. I would also welcome any views on the various "financial advisers" that have been promoted to us and the sort of products that they are likely to promote to ensure that (being optimistic) my parents's liquid assets and house, when sold, will last them a good few years.
Eyes have just stopped watering from learning how much a decent care home costs per week!
