Private care expenses are not always solely the responsibility of the individual. With upcoming changes to care funding in England and Wales, it is advisable to seek professional guidance before making any financial decisions. As individual circumstances vary, we offer an initial assessment to provide direction. We collaborate with various professional organisations and financial advisors to ensure you receive optimal advice regarding care planning.

The financial contributions you are entitled to depend on your individual circumstances, so it is important to seek advice. The following organisations may be able to give you specialist advice:

There are also various financial planning schemes for long-term care that can help you pay for care home fees. These generally consist of paying one large sum when you move into a care home and should provide a fixed payment for as long as you need care. We recommend contacting an independent financial adviser who specialises in care fees planning.
