How to fund your long-term care 

How much you need to pay for long term care really depends on your circumstances. If you have been assessed by your local council's social services department as needing care then they will do a means test.

There are many options for ways to fund long term care, whether it is in your own home or in a care home. These options can be quite hard to understand though so hopefully this website will help explain the options open to you more clearly.

Our help is available for people with long term care needs in London. These include:

A means test is a financial assessment that will look into our income and savings and then they will decide whether or not your need to pay for your care. 

Understanding The Care Assessment and Funding Care

You can of course decide to pay for your care out of your own pocket. If you do decide to do this then do speak with a financial adviser beforehand. 

They can give you some great tips and allow you to make an informed decision as to if this is the right move for you.
