If one of you goes into a Care home the other person can stay in the house

Here is a link to a site run by the Co-op that explains the joint tenants/tenants in common decsion very clearly.

Well it’s just that as we are getting older and worry about what the future may hold for us , if one of us had to go in to a care home ( God forbid ) is the other half who is left at home able to stay in it without having to sell to pay for the care home. ?
We own our home , if both names are on the deeds does that make us tenants in common , or do we need to ask legal advice on what happens. , Where is GSM when you need her with her excellent advice !!

We own our house as tenants in common. In fact, we’ve owned all our houses that way. What is it that you want to know about it?

Does anyone know about ,or has put in place Tenant in Common, I believe it’s to protect the other share of the house if one of the couple hast to go in to care, the other can stay without the house being sold for care home fees, something like that anyway ,
