Many people choose to pay for their care privately. This can be funded through savings, pensions, or by releasing equity from property. We can discuss flexible payment options to suit your circumstances.
Depending on your financial situation and care needs, you may be eligible for support from your local authority. We can guide you through the assessment process and work with your local council.
If you have significant ongoing healthcare needs, you might qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare funding. We can help you understand if this applies to your situation.
If you're over State Pension age and need help with personal care, you may be able to claim Attendance Allowance - £76.70 or £114.60 a week in 2026/27. It isn't means-tested and can go towards the cost of care.
