Peter tells me this evening that there is a waiting list at the LSOP and that Mam wants to come home before getting her into there.
How feasible is the latter? I don't think it is, given Mam's condition. And it could easily become mission-creep where it is seen as an easy option with the actual goal of getting Mam somewhere nice never being achieved. Wewould be letting Mam down terribly. LSOP could give her a new lease of life - she knows people already there and there'd be church services and social interaction. They haveSky TV so she'd have plenty of Sports to watch on telly.
At any rate I think Mam should definitely be on the list. Is she on it now? Or have forms got to be filled in - and by whom? How long is the average waiting time for people on the list?
I would guess that the LSOP will want to assess Mam's revenue stream to ascertain whether she can afford to live there for at least a year. What are Mam's incomings and outgoings?
Is the sale of the house a prerequisite to getting Mam into LSOP or can the house be kept on for a limited period whilst Mam is in there? When I am fit and well again and if working in Newcastle, I might consider staying a little longer PROVIDED I know the house is going to be sold. House sale is, I think, the only way we can secure Mam's position at the LSOP which I've heard is a very nice place indeed. Mam deserves better than what she has at present.
We still need the house valued and I have already heard from Rook Matthew Sayer who would be happy to give such an evaluation.I'll try a couple of others, too.

We may have to consider the arrangement that Mam comes home before getting her place at LSOP.
Sale of house and Mam's transfer to LSOP may not be seamless given a number of things. Waiting for a place to come available makes us the uppermost part of the chain.
It's possible that Mam may need to go into LSOP with the house still unsold. This presents funding problems. At any rate, I hope we're all agreed that the hose will be sold.
