When people plan for their future they often forget to consider what will happen if they are not longer able to look after themselves and require care. Whether you decide you want to go into a care home or remain living in your own home, Plym Legal Services can advise you the best way to plan paying for your future care or assist you in planning for a loved ones care.
Current Legislation
The Care Act 2014 and previous legislation permit local authorities to be able to charge for the community care services that they provide. Each person needing care is now means tested to see if they are able to receive assistance paying for their care or have to contribute towards the cost of their care.
Taking legal advice now from specialists in Elder Care such as Sharon Lamerton at Plym Legal Services, will empower you to make you own choices and make sure that you financially prepared.
For further advice about what you may need to pay please contact us or call us on 01752 905033.
“Sharon has worked with my adult autisic son when both education and the local authority failed him. They refused an assessment and then said he was not eligible for services. With Sharon’s help, not only did they assess, but once further challenged, they offered services to him. We could never have done this alone and Sharon made the experience more bearable. Sharon was able to explain complex legal issues to him in such a way that he could understand. ”
“I am very grateful for the work carried out by Sharon Lamerton at Care or Not Ltd, for the guidance and knowledge, given in a friendly and understandable manner.
