My Mum is now moving to an interim placement tomorrow for assessment however, it is one of the most expensive Nursing Homes (not Care Home) in the area. I know I cannot refuse but what happens after her free 4 week assessment? If they say she cannot return home and needs to remain in care, can I say her funds cannot support that home (she is self funding but even so the costs are too much)? I am requesting a Continuing Healthcare Assessment but the bar is high for full funding and know she will not meet it, although a case can be made for banded funding. What if Mum likes the Home? Can I still say no and request she is moved elsewhere more affordable? As it stands, worst case, Mum likes it, stays and will burn through her money and house in 2 years. My Dad, who is no longer with us, worked all his life for the house and I only want to protect what was his. I know what he would have wanted and it is not this. Please help. What can I do?
