community care law and older people
Our clients include those who are planning ahead to understand what financial contributions they will have to make if they, or a relative, go in to a nursing or residential care home. We can help with questions such as what will happen to their savings and their home. We also provide community care law advice to clients whose relatives have already gone in to a care facility to ensure that they obtain the relevant maximum financial contribution to the nursing care fees from the NHS or social services. Specialist advice on the rights of an individual to remain in their home when their spouse, or the person who they cared for, has gone in to care can not only save money, but also avoids unnecessary anxiety.
