Delays to a cap on costs and treatment for dementia patients are among issues raised by voters.
Mike Belton says his family will have to sell his mother's two-bedroom bungalow to pay for her residential care
In order to keep paying for his 88-year-old mother's £1,842 weekly residential care costs, he said he would "have to sell her house, everything, basically" by next year. Under the current system, Mr Belton said: "Mum will be paying £1,800 a week and someone in the next room might be paying absolutely nothing.Under the proposals for the cap, the limit would only cover personal care, not living costs such as food or accommodation.
"What’s happened to that? I’ve not heard any of the parties saying anything about it," Mr Streeter said. Ms Janes' husband is currently in residential care due to Alzheimer's and mixed dementia, after what she described as a "struggle for a diagnosis", and is entitled to help with the costs.
