Can anyone help? Care costs

enelson

Can anyone help? I live in Canada and have POA for my sister in Glasgow who his 82 with Alzheimers, lives alone. I pay £400 weekly for care for my sister, 4 hours a day for five days a week. The govt. sends someone to check on her at night, 5 mins, not much use. In Canada, when we pay for care we can deduct part of the expenses from our taxes payable. Refundable tax credits. I can't find this anywhere in the UK tax system. Is it not there, or am I missing seeing it? £28,000 a year seems quite a bit of money out our her pension.
