How can we help?
If you are arranging care at home or considering long term care in residential/nursing homes we can help you through the complicated maze of options, benefits and financial assistance available when paying for long term care with our specialist advice team. We assist families and attorneys by providing the most suitable financial option for meeting long term care costs based on bespoke solutions.
What advice do we offer?
We will look at entitlement to local authority support, health authority responsibilities, welfare benefits, legislative matters and tax arrangements. We consider how best to meet full care costs from all appropriate financial products including those designed specifically for this purpose such as immediate needs annuities and incorporating the flexibility required to meet any future changes in care needs.
We will also look at other solutions that include investments, inheritance tax planning and property schemes which are designed to provide funds to pay for long term care whilst a property is being sold or alternatively rented out to maximise the income from it.
