OK having had chance to think about the proposed changes in social care rules I see a big problem for those people who're live in carers for their parent(s) at home but are now going to face the prospect (if extra care in the home is needed) of finding the house they've lived in and previously would have inherited could well have to be sold after their parents die. It may not be many people in this situation but I do think if we're going to expect family members to sacrifice their lives to care for their parents, we can't then penalise them additionally for so doing. Where are these people supposed to live and on what when their caring role ends? £100k isn't going to go very far for someone who has no job and nowhere to live is it. It seems to me this will just mean that less people will want/be able to care for their parents.
