MUM NEEDS HELP
Q. Our mum is 87 and in failing health. I have 5 siblings and while some of them are still affected by the recession 15 years ago, overall we do not have the money to maintain her at home. Our mum also does not have the savings to keep her at home which is mortgage free and worth c. € 550K. Her only income is the State pension – our dad died 5 years ago pensionless, so we don’t want to send her to a nursing home as we would like her to stay in her own home for the last few years of her life. Have you any suggestions ? Micheal – Dundalk Co Louth
