Gizmo, social services have to assess your grandmother before they can move her. If she lived alone, any charges based on the house sale will be deferred until the sale is completed. If someone has been living with her, they may have to wait longer as they cannot make that person homeless.

I suggest you contact your local Age Concern: they may be able to offer more detailed advice.
