For your loved ones

Paying for care can be one of the most expensive commitments a family ever has to make. We can help you to avoid the pitfalls involved.

Over the years, care fees can quickly mount up. You can find your funds rapidly depleted.

Nobody wants to see an entire estate spent on care fees. Often it’s not until the money runs out that carers discover that they did, in fact, have choices.

We’re used to asking for professional advice on decisions such as mortgages and pensions. Using the professionals to help plan for care fees is just as important.

We will help you understand:

  • The care system and how it works
  • The benefits system and whether you’re claiming what you’re entitled to
  • Your responsibilities and duties under a Power of Attorney*
  • The role of your local authority and their responsibilities
  • Care and financial assessments
  • Your choices regarding property
  • What to do if you feel care should be paid for by the NHS
  • The care contract and its implications
  • Your choices in relation to paying for care

*Powers of Attorney involve the referral to a service which is separate and distinct to those offered by St. James's Place and are not regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
