‘Since my mum was discharged from hospital her mobility and care needs have exceeded our ability to look after her.  She needs a care home.   She has no assets or savings at all.  I really need some advice about who pays for a care home, and does she get a choice of where she goes? ’

‘Can you please help me navigate what options I have for an assessment of neurodiversity for my eight-and-a-half-year-old son? I suspect he might be AuADHD (autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) but I am not sure.
