Mr X complained that the Council did not inform him that additional charges may be required to maintain his father, Mr Y’s, care home placement once his capital fell below the funding threshold. We have found no fault. The care home was arranged and funded privately. When Mr Y’s capital later reduced, the Council explained its funding limits and the need for a top-up if he remained in the same home.
