For you

Thanks to better medical care and healthier lifestyles, many of us are living longer. As a result, funding some form of long-term care, whether at home or in a residential care setting, is increasingly likely. And as you may know, it’s not cheap.  

A week in a typical UK residential care home is currently estimated at £651 – rising to £952 for nursing care1. We need to think carefully about, and plan ahead for, the possibility of long-term care, to make sure that our money is going to last for as long as we need it to.  

There is State help available, but understandably, it is focused on supporting those with limited personal funds and you may find you’re not eligible for help. Just for reference, if you have more than £23,250 in savings in England (with national variations), you can’t expect care funding support.  

Decisions about long-term care can be emotional, and it’s a complex subject with many different care options available. We  specialise in long-term care planning and financial advice, and will always listen and support you with practical, empathic advice.  

Knowing that your money will last as long as you, or your loved ones, need it to, brings true peace of mind.
