Long term care planning advice

When a loved one loses their independence, it can have a significant impact on the whole family. We understand that at this time you want to find the best care for your relative.

The need for long-term care, and how it should be paid for, is arguably one of the greatest causes for concern among our growing aging population. Many elderly people were brought up to believe that the State would look after them ‘from cradle to grave’. Sadly, this is not usually the case.

Although the NHS provides free medical care in hospitals, the provision of long term care outside hospitals is now the responsibility of individual local authorities and is not free to everyone.

• Long-term care funding ‘at home’: different care packages are available offering different levels of care. Once the right care has been chosen, there may be the need for some expert thinking to help you understand how to best fund the costs.
