I agree, the mind set still is 'This is my house, why do I need to sell it? I've 'paid in' all my life!'
However........ any assets over £23k are 'taken' by the council if they provide the care.
They also take any income over £25 a week.
It's a reasonable system.

Depends on your definition of reasonable I suppose.
Lots of couples are now going for the "Tenants in common " rather than "joint ownership " to avoid their home being sold out from under the partner who doesn't need care.
