Information that every self funder needs to know - at best-care-home.co.uk we aim to help those people in particular who are having to pay for their own care, with our monthly newsletter.
It is very likely with the growing restrictions being placed on social care by the government that the number of self funders, which currently stands at 41% of those receiving care, will increase. In addition to this, recent statistics show that 75% of councils will now only provide support for those with 'substantial needs' or above and 10% of councils will only provide support for those with 'critical' needs (Laing & Buisson 2010/11).
As a self funder, somebody who does not qualify for local authority funding, it is generally accepted that you will receive very little help and support to find the care that you need and this is where best-care-home can help, we provide the information.
Once you have been assessed as a self funder you need information about what to do next and how to find the best care home at a price you can afford.
Legal information about a Lasting Power of Attorney and the importance of making a will are all areas that need to be considered.
