Precisely. I see a market on the not too distant horizon for property speculators able to snap up houses for around £90K that are in effect worth well north of £100K. They buy your house so the Government (local or national) gets the money it needs to give the Private Health Care provider (typically American owned) for your "care", covers the legal transactions but bollocks to you that it's worth say £120K - £150K on the "open market" and you should get the balance. How you pay for your food etc. on top of the so called "care costs" is your problem.

Not hard to do if you're single, no direct family and have lost your marbles so can't sign for, agree or disagree with anything they do "on your behalf".

They then resell the plundered property at market value or put it on the rental market to make a nice little profit for themselves. These speculators being the same dodgy crew that landed PPE and other government contracts over the last couple of years because they are "friends of members of The Cabinet". The way this mob works, they'd gift the £90K/property to their mates as a "loan", payable when the property is resold or rented at favourable interest rates, plus the usual back handers in brown envelopes.
