After the assessment meeting today, Dad's ongoing care will be fully funded under the NHS Continuing Healthcare scheme - to be reviewed in three months, but they admitted he very nearly got it the last time they did the assessment, when he was considerably better than he is right now. 

Next step is persuading our care home of choice (the one that backed out on Christmas Eve) to take him, and the discharge sister in his new ward reckons she can talk its manager around - fingers crossed.
