If your grandad needs 24 hour care and has no money you need to get in touch with your local council and social services, they will access him and if they decide he needs care you will get founding for his care, be that home cars or a care home, if he has home care they can't make him sell his house because he's living in it, if he goes into a care home they will make his sell his home to pay for his care, once the money has gone they will very on paying
I work for the NHS, I do community nursing and work with lot of people with Alzheimer's and dementia untill they need 24 hour care, honest there is help out there for you, it can be hard but if you push its there |

If your grandad has assets of less than £23k social services will step in. Ask for an assessment asap and get a social worker on the case. Hopefully he has put in place a lasting power of attorney, if not it will get messy especially if family members have effectively been stealing money. Having been through the process it is pretty horrid so good luck. If you need further advice feel free to PM. |

I'm so sorry to see you're going through this too. Age UK are amazing, and the Alzheimer's society is very good too.
Feel free to pm me mate - and anyone else going through this terrible situation. |

Age UK are head and shoulders above all the other organisations from my experience, well worth speaking to. |
