Navigating the care home system
Funding and sourcing Long Term Care is becoming a major concern not just for those about to require Long Term Care and navigating the pitfalls of the State system, but also for children forced into sourcing what they hope will be suitable care for parents or relatives.
The FT’s Rosie Carr recently shared her own experience of this and her article and podcast (approx. 14 mins) with the FT’s Claer Barrett is an absolute must listen:
5 key pointers and takeaways from her battles:
- Involve all family members and understand health and financial details as soon as possible
- Arrange a Financial Power of Attorney
- Understand the pros and cons of State help including deferred payment arrangements
- Apply for Attendance Allowance and Nursing care contribution
- Consult with a Specialist Adviser
