A care finance expert for Age Concern and Help the Aged has criticised newspaper articles this week that told the tale of a couple who felt they were forced to sell their house to pay for care home fees.
Pauline Thomson tells Money Box that the story which appeared in the Express on January 15 was misleading. The couple should not have to sell their property.
Money Box hears from the policy advisor about options for elderly people in this situation.
