I am 78 and a widow. My daughter has always lived with me and my late husband as she is physically disabled and we had the house adapted for her. I am worried about whether, if I had to go into a nursing home, she would get the bill from Fair Deal. Would she have to sell the house, or is there some provision I can make for her?
