Ill health and paying for care
How can your client ensure they or their family have the best quality of life in later years? Many of us put off thinking about paying for long-term care, whether it’s at home or in another care setting. However, planning ahead can make all the difference. Our qualified experts can help them to prepare for care costs, ensuring peace of mind for everyone involved.
Ensure your clients are ready for long-term care costs
Paying for long-term care doesn’t have to mean compromising their own, or their loved ones’, financial comfort. Our Society of Later Life (SOLLA) accredited Wealth Planners will work with you and your client to maximise their income to cover care fees, while minimising their inheritance tax (IHT) liability wherever possible.
Rest assured, we’ll be with them through every step of their plan. Our lifetime cash flow modelling shows how long their income will last and identifies any adjustments we can make to help cover care fees. We’ll also handle all the paperwork and keep you both updated on our progress.

How we helped Janet manage care home costs
When we first met Janet, she was 80 and in poor health. Her husband had died five years earlier and left everything to her. However, her daughter Alison worried that Janet wasn’t coping alone, and together they agreed it would be best for Janet to move into a local care home.
