Deborah Crisp says since her mother's money began to run out, Bromley Council refused to pay the difference in care costs.
A woman from south-east London says she fears her 98-year-old mother might die if she is forced to move care homes at the request of her council.
When her mother went into care, she had to sign over her own home to the council, Mrs Crisp said, and the authority "loaned her the amount of money that they deemed her property to be worth", which was £180,000.The difference in Betty's care costs would amount to roughly £80 extra each week, but Mrs Crisp says she cannot afford the increase
According to correspondence from the council, which BBC London has seen, the difference would amount to roughly £80 extra each week, but Mrs Crisp said she cannot afford the increase."I'm on a pension, and my husband has Alzheimer's, and he will be self-funding before very long," she explained, adding they were already spending £2,000 a month on daycare for him.
She argued that one was not secure enough to prevent her mother from wandering off, and another was rated "inadequate" by the Care Quality Commission .
