What the petition asks
The Government is introducing reforms regarding care costs. These should be reviewed to ensure people do not have to sell their homes to cover care costs.
I am a homeowner and, like many others in my situation, I face the fear of having to sell my home to cover care costs.
Families who have worked all their lives to afford to buy their own property have scrimped and saved, usually with view to keeping a roof over their heads, hopefully leaving some inheritance.
