Hi Busybee, do NOT allow yourself to be bullied into selling the home, there is always the option of "Deferred Payments".
This is a very specialised area, and so many people including accountants and solicitors think they know all the rules, but talking to them it's soon apparent that actually, they don't.
I would suggest that you write down all dad's current symptoms, and then ring the Alzheimer's Society helpline, or the Parkinsons Society, and ask them "How long do you think dad will last"?
Maybe read Jenny's posts about the decline of her MIL who has recently passed away?
Write down all his income, and outgoiongs, and work out how long his money will last.
If he went into a home would you be able to go back to work?
