My brother in law has just been diagnosed with Alzheimers and is at present in hospital. His partner Kathy is just finishing treatment for cancer and will be unable to care for him when he is discharged. What happens in France in such cases? If he has to go into a residential home, does anyone know how one pays for this? We are desperately trying to get this sorted for Kathy as the fear is that the stress of all this will cause a relapse for her. I would be so grateful for any advice members may be able to offer.
