The Benefits of Getting Specialist Care Advice

There will come a time for most families when it becomes clear that an elderly relative needs some form of care; either to continue to live safely at home or to move into a specialist care setting. This is never an easy moment. Your relative may be fiercely independent and may hate the idea of being cared for.

There is a bewildering amount of information available on care. Care provision varies dramatically from region to region and the availability of carers and care home vacancies is ever changing.

Independent care advisers can help

Nevertheless, there is help available to make the whole process much easier. Independent care advisers specialise in resolving care issues and finding the best possible care solutions. They have expert knowledge of care, including the workings of the NHS and Social Services. Care advisers work with great sensitivity in the best interests of the person needing care, standing back from the family situation in order to provide unbiased advice, guiding families through all of the available care options and associated costs.

The benefits of care advice include:

• Help to understand the care options available, so o you can save time and ensure that all possible options are considered before agreeing on the best way forward
• Help to navigate the NHS and Social Services to save you time, stress and confusion
• Practical and emotional support to find the best care solution, help you to identify the most suitable care providers, giving families the reassurance that no stone has been left unturned
• Information on all state benefits and allowances, ensuring they are all understood and claimed
• Guidance on fair costs of care to ensure that you avoid unnecessary expenditure
• Consideration of the possible issue of funds running out. We address the situation from the start, which is when the best decisions can be made
