How do I start to move my Mum nearer to me?
Watch this postCan anyone help or give me advise please on where do I start by looking into moving my Mum to my home town? She is in a different county to me so not sure if I can go through my local council or is it Social Services I really dont know? The bungalow she is living in is owned by my Brother - long story but for financial reasons my Dad (who passed away 8 years ago) agreed to let my brother buy it. She is a very independant 83 year old still "with it" and still drives, but after a recent fall I really would like her to live near me. She wants her independance still so not a nursing home a retirement complex with a warden but where she still has her own "front door" as she puts it. Can anybody help or give me any direction where I start please? Thank you Michelle

Check them out.
Thank you for your advise on Girlings I have looked and they have lovely retirement apartments just what my Mum would like. I think renting is the way to do things but most of the places here (Macclesfield) are to buy. Will keep looking though.
Thank you again
