I don’t understand all this new stuff about care home fees. All I know is that I recently totted up what my late Mum spent in 3 years and it was just over £141,000. It still upsets me to think about all that money just gone when Mum and Dad worked so hard and after 30+ years of renting their council house finally bought it and told us kids that they did this to make sure we all got a bit more than they were ever given.
It also staggers me that people like my Mum who self fund have to pay for example £4,000 a month for their care when social services just pay £3,000 a month for exactly the same care, room, food etc for people they fund. that is totally unfair.
