CARE HOME FEES

“Do what you can, with what you have, where you are” – Theodore Roosevelt

As part of getting older, it is inevitable that thoughts turn to how we will be looked after in old age. A concern for many clients is how the costs of long-term care will be funded, whether this is in our own home or in a care home.

The rules regarding the funding of long-term care can be complex and it is often at time when your loved ones should be concentrating on you that issues of funding care are addressed.

As with everything we do planning early is important but whenever you need to consider paying for care we will take a comprehensive look at your financial position and offer advice on:

• Any benefits you can claim and make sure that you are receiving the right level
• Managing your assets to fund long-term care
• Third party top up fees
• Eligibility for local authority funding care costs

We also work in conjunction with an expert team of lawyers who are specialists in NHS continuing care.
