Overview
- Brenda Miles was given two days' notice to leave Innage Grange in Bridgnorth after five years at the home.
- Her life savings of about £240,000, largely from selling her bungalow, were depleted by fees of roughly £4,000 per month.
- After her assets fell below the £23,000 means-test threshold, the council relocated her on October 31 to Hilton Brook House, which costs about £2,400 per month.
- Relatives say the move was distressing and that the new room lacks an ensuite, which they argue is unsuitable for a 98-year-old with dementia.
- The family sought a review through South Shropshire MP Stuart Anderson without success, and the council declined to comment on the individual case.
