Later Life & Long-Term Care Fee Planning

Care-Fee Planning & Funding Options

Care-fee planning involves understanding how future care needs could be funded, whether that’s residential care, nursing care or support at home.

What is care-fee planning?

Care-fee planning involves understanding how future care needs could be funded, whether that’s residential care, nursing care or support at home. It’s about knowing what you might need to pay, what help might be available, and how best to prepare financially.

It’s not just about the numbers, it’s about making sure you, or someone you love, can access the right care without unnecessary stress or financial strain. This includes knowing how much care might cost, what help (if any) you may be entitled to, and how to prepare in a way that feels manageable.

Why does it matter?

Unfortunately, care can be expensive, and many people are caught off guard by the cost. It’s a common assumption that the local authority will cover it, but if your assets are above a certain threshold, you may be expected to pay for some or all of your care.

This can be a difficult and emotional topic, especially when decisions need to be made quickly. But by planning ahead, you give yourself and your family the chance to make informed decisions with confidence, rather than under pressure.

With this in mind, it’s also about looking at the bigger picture. What seems manageable now may not be sustainable in the long run. That’s why care-fee planning takes into account not just the cost of care, but how it could affect your savings, your home, and your future flexibility.

What our customers say

  • “Amy has been a wonderful support as we look at getting our first mortgage for a renovation. She has explained everything with a wealth of experience behind her and in terms that even I can understand! We feel incredibly comfortable making such an important decision with Amy to advise and guide us; we couldn’t ask for any more patience and knowledge from this lovely lady. Would always recommend, without hesitation.”

    R. Longley

  • “Fantastic help and advice from day one! Within a few minutes of meeting Dan for the first time both myself and my partner felt at ease and have never felt pressured which is so important, especially when making one of the biggest purchases of our lifetime. Would thoroughly recommend Dan to anyone and definitely those who are a first-time buyer as every step and process is well explained and any questions are always answered promptly with honesty.”

    J. Humphries

  • “When we were just about at our wit’s end with the process of getting our first mortgage, Amy quite literally saved the day (and our sanity!) She was professional, calm and thorough. Fantastic communication throughout the whole process, she managed to secure us a fantastic rate and explained everything to us every step of the way. A genuinely lovely lady, cannot recommend enough.”

    C. Charters

  • “Lisa was recommended to me by a friend and she did not disappoint, fantastic from start to finish. I found a house I wanted to make an offer on, emailed Lisa at 9 pm on a Sunday (not expecting a reply till the following morning) and I had a mortgage in principle by 10 pm the same night. Lisa was always on the ball even through COVID. I honestly can't thank her enough for all her help and will definitely be recommending her to people in the future.”
