My mother retired from the UK 20 years ago and lives in Tenerife. She lives on a small pension. Her health is not the best and may soon need full time care. I have been told that by having spent more than 18 months out of the UK she no longer has any right to state provided aged care. I am sure that her pension would not cover the cost of private care on Tenerife. Has anybody got any advice or relevant thoughts that they could share with me. Unfortunately I live in Australia, who's immigration dept simply wouldn't allow her any form of residence and my moving to Tenerife/UK isn't an option. I look forward to your comments and advice. Thank you.
