Why Use Us?
The need for care often arises when least expected. Consequently, if you are unfamiliar with our care system, you could be suddenly faced with a multitude of problems. These may include, finding out what the State might provide, choosing the right care and, most importantly how to pay for it.
Many older people needing care today do not meet the criteria for financial assistance from their Local Authority or, they may be choosing to pay for their care independently. Whatever the reason, in most cases, the amount of capital available (often one's life savings or the proceeds from the sale of a former home) if left on deposit, will not produce the income required to meet high care costs. As a result, many older people find they run out of money long before their need for care ceases. This need not be the case.
Care Fee Planning, developed by us, encompasses financial advice with the complexities of our 'care system'. Enabling older people to obtain what they are rightfully entitled to from the State and aiming to meet care costs for life whilst as far as possible also preserving their original capital.
Through our advice and information we can help older people; their families & friends make informed choices and enjoy peace of mind that they are in control of their financial and legal affairs. We believe financial security is an essential ingredient in providing older people with a feeling of independence, dignity and well being.
