Funding your care
Angel Carers are aware of the many issues that arise when considering funding care for loved ones. Families may fund their care themselves, although many people are eligible to receive some support from their local authority.
It is vital that independent financial advice is sought, and we believe the earlier the better so as to ensure a fully informed decision can be made.
At Angel Carers we can help point you in the right direction. Below are some current published guidelines that will help start the process.
Paying for care at home
If you're in the process of looking for home care, whether for yourself or a loved one, one of the first things you'll likely think of is how you are going to pay for care at home.
This detailed guide from Homecare.co.uk provides information about the average costs of home care and how much financial help you can expect from your local authority. There is also information on a whole host of benefits you may be eligible for.
