Care Fees Advice

The term, "Long term care", refers to care required for the foreseeable future, usually as a result of frailty or permanent conditions such, as arthritis or dementia.

Convalescence or recovery; following a short term illness, would not be considered as requiring long term care.

Long term care falls into two categories: Nursing Care and Social or Personal Care.

• Long term nursing care is free and is provided by the NHS.
• Long term social or personal care is means tested by the Local Authority and depending on the results of their investigation into your financial situation, you may end up paying for long term care, in full, or in part.

If you, or a family member, are facing an immediate need for care, and have savings or capital of more than £22,250, you can expect little help from the State towards your care fees.
