Understanding Care Needs

Our Experience
As we age, knowing when and where to seek help can become a confusing challenge. For some, reaching out to local authorities for assistance with loved ones is a viable option. But what happens if you don’t meet the eligibility criteria or have savings that push you above key financial thresholds? In these cases, you may find yourself labelled as a "self-funder," meaning you'll need to take on the responsibility of arranging your own care—often without much guidance.
The Difficulties
Without the right knowledge and expert guidance, it’s all too easy to get misled in the search for care, often leading to unnecessary costs for services that might not even be needed. A 2017 report from the Competition and Markets Authority shed light on this issue, particularly for those funding their own care. It called for greater access to personalized advice from trusted professionals, as well as clearer, more transparent information to help navigate the complexities of the care system.
