The Ultimate Care Fees Planning Handbook

Unpublished

The most common question we get asked concerns the funding of long term care. This year therefore we took the decision to work alongside our friends at Symponia and produce The Ultimate Care Fees Planning Handbook. Designed for anybody considering care handbook covers both live-in and residential care and covers the main topics for both private or public funding.

You will find information on eligibility for local authority support, state benefits such as attendance allowance, pension credit and carers allowance . There is also a section on NHS Continuing Healthcare, a non means tested fund that will usually cover the full cost of care. Private funding options such as equity release as well as care annuities are covered too.

Anybody involved with financial affairs should also ensure that they are familiar with the section surrounding Lasting and Enduring Power of Attorney.
