I think TAA recommends a slightly higher WMC for couples because of increased wear and tear for 2 people. If the residents are paying their own bills then they will both pay for as much as they use.

I agree with Tina, I would speak to the family (if your resident has family members) as they might be able to tell you what her condition is, and whether she is likely to continue independent living when discharged from hospital. Perhaps they might even offer for her to move in with them, or support her to move into alternative care? I don’t feel it is right to make decisions without the resident’s input, but this is obviously difficult if she is in hospital, and a family member could act as an intermediary. They could also help to vacate the accommodation if she did have to end her agreement due to health.

The WMC is obviously important but is your charity able to cope without one person’s WMC being paid for a few months?

Dear Michelle, I haven’t been through this process but TAA has guidance on how to deregister as a registered provider- go to “Guidance” > “Model policies/templates”, then scroll down.
Here’s the link to the page: https://www.almshouses.org/model-policies-and-templates/

Dear Cath, if you go to the blue menu bar on this page, click “Guidance”, then “Model Policies, templates, and other useful docs”. There will then be a list of template letters including for Setting Aside.

If this link works, this is the shortcut: https://www.almshouses.org/model-policies-and-templates/
