John Grainger's condition requires one-to-one care but he does not qualify for state-funded support.
The grandfather was described by his family as "a loving man whose Alzheimer's has taken over"A man with advanced Alzheimer's has been left with nowhere to live after being evicted from four care homes and told his care needs cannot be met elsewhere, his family has said.
He recently suffered a fall and his care is being temporarily funded by the NHS while he recovers from his injuries.Local authorities can pay towards social care for those with less than £23,250 in savings but Mr Grainger, who spent more than a decade in the military before setting up his own business, is over this threshold.
"It's about my dad being in the right place for him to have the last few years of his life, the best quality of life that he can have and whatever the cost is, the cost is," he said. The family said they were advised that Cornerstone Healthcare was the only care provider in Hampshire that offered the specialist help his father needed.In a statement, Cornerstone, which has three homes in Hampshire, said: "Due to the nature and presentation of our residents, I am afraid that we can only offer long-term placements, and do not accept privately funded residents.
"We deliver continuing healthcare services in accordance with the national framework set out by the Department of Health and Social Care."They added: "We are unable to comment on individual cases however we can confirm that we are in contact with Mr Grainger and his family and we are reviewing the case regarding his needs."
