I am just watching Part 2 which I recorded and feeling very cross. My Mum is in the same position as the lady on there who had to sell her home to pay her care home fees. Whichever way I look at it, it is just NOT fair that in addition to having to do this she is subsidising people who the council fund. The councils pay around £500 a week whereas my Mum is now paying over £800 a week. The woman at Somerset council is saying “this is not fair but what else can we do?”
I often have sleepless nights worrying about what will happen to my Mum when her money runs out.
