How to fund long-term care is an important consideration when looking at home care options. Depending on your personal circumstances, there may be public funding or benefits available to you, or other finance options.
Most of our customers fund their care privately or via direct payments. If you're funding care yourself, we do recommend that you first research whether any benefits are available to you. We've provided lots of advice here to help you get started and point you in the right direction.
Other funding options you may want to consider include purchasing an immediate needs annuity. We also get asked many questions around lasting power of attorney and other asset-related matters.
And because our service is so flexible, you can easily reduce or increase how much support you're receiving, if or when your needs change.
Call us today if you'd like some advice on your funding options. However, we do also suggest that you speak to a financial advisor who has care fee planning knowledge and experience.
This calculator from Legal & General will help you to understand how much may be needed to cover the cost of care, as well as the support available for home improvements and adaptations. It only takes a few minutes to complete, and you can complete it for yourself, or on behalf of someone else. If you're completing this for someone else, please give answers related to them.
