Overview
- Brenda Miles had lived at Innage Grange in Bridgnorth since 2020, self-funding roughly £4,000 a month from about £240,000 in savings and home-sale proceeds.
- When her assets dropped under the means-test limit, Shropshire Council declined to fund Innage Grange and arranged a place at Hilton Brook House costing about £2,400 a month.
- The move took place on 31 October after the family was given two weeks to act followed by only 48 hours' notice to leave the original home.
- Her niece, Victoria Fellows, called the relocation inappropriate for a 98-year-old with dementia and said the new room lacks an ensuite and personal belongings remained at the former home.
- The family sought help from South Shropshire MP Stuart Anderson without success, and the council declined to comment on the individual case.
