Aged parent - paying for home healthcare out of savings

May 10, 2005 2 Replies

I've got an aged parent whos got 'some' money saved up. Not a great deal by any imagination.


Does anyone know of any links to resources etc. where I can find out about the rules of what happens if he ever has to go into a home or pay for home healthcare etc ?


I know there the old tale that all your saving will be takne from u to pay for this, but whats the real truth ?



(I think you can keep the last £10,000.)

Is your parent in Scotland or elsewhere? In Scotland, the care is paid for and one "only" has to pay for the accommodation.
