Thanks for updating us @Shaz51 . Hugs.
What does your heart tell you to do?
Will you be able to afford option 1? That is, the hospital fee?
I know you are doing the best you can.
It is important to remember your own mental health as well as Mr Shaz's.

Number 1 will come out of mum's pension until a bed comes available
But then I feel guilty for not having her a home but it would be against the hospital recommendations and no home support
And yes thinking of us I am feeling the first option would be the best but then I get confused and start thinking again

Tough choices @Shaz51 . I hope the daily charge at the district hospital isn't hugely different to likely ongoings at the local hospital.
When Dad went into care there was a big lump sum bond, but it was means-tested.
I hope they're not pressing you for an immediate decision.
