Paying for care

As you and your loved ones grow older it is likely that some kind of care will be required, either at home or in a residential care home or nursing environment. We can help you navigate the minefield that is paying for care.

Sadly working your way around the system and negotiating funding with the NHS or Social Services can be a daunting task. Whatever arrangement you decide on, the cost of your care must be funded either privately, by the state, or through a combination of the two.

You will want the best possible care available while making sure that any financial assistance you may qualify for has been considered. It is important to remember that your ability to qualify for funding may not be affected by your level of assets. Funding is not always means-tested.

Accomplishing this is not easy, and often made harder by the fact you may have to act swiftly – an unexpected spell in hospital may precipitate the need for rapid decisions.

How we can help you

We can give you expert advice that takes the stress out of the situation and achieves the best possible outcome. This includes:

  • Assisting with the process of applying for means-tested local authority funding
  • Advising on the best ways to approach self-funding
• Appealing continuing healthcare decisions, either retrospectively or ongoing
