That's why you should use a trustworthy financial advisor to help you decide if it's a good idea or not. Interesting, thanks for sharing.
That article (for anyone too lazy to read it) makes vague warnings and urges caution which is sound advice with any substantial financial decision
Anyway, in mum's case if this isn't valid it just puts us back where we were minus the fees. More than likely she'd pass on the house in early inheritance in that case.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

Extended Care / Nursing Home Hospital Setting Salary, Average Salaries | PayScale United Kingdom
so costs are say 11 employees to cover 2 positions = £220k. 36 patients * £5k = £180k they may have a point. You may be able to use cheaper staff to supplant the nurses and have a nurse on call.Comment

yes the staff costs are 1.5 - 2 months so what do they spend the rest on if they are so hard up?Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

My old folks are the same age as HMQ and DofE, and thank God still sprightly and marbled-up enough to look after themselves with no trouble.
Actually, my father who is 92 still drives them both hundreds of miles, although he has trouble seeing in the dark so they try and drive during the day.Last edited by OwlHoot; 19 November 2015, 15:57.Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

It is a very different world from when I was young. I still remember borrowing being called the "never never". Now it requires everyone to spend to keep the economy afloat. There was a bit of an economic lull recently so the government has unlocked access to pensions. So it can to spent. Which I suppose is better than having it go towards nursing home fees.Comment
