Your Care Journey
Everyone has a different care journey and because of this our advice is personalised for you and your family.
We understand that everyone is different, although the questions are often the same! What is the right care? How much will it cost? Where can I get help? Where do I start?
Whether you have an immediate care need or are planning for the future we will make sure that you have the right benefits in place and are not paying for care that you shouldn’t be, we can help you to get the right care and support, fill in benefit forms, apply for a Power of Attorney and make financial plans for yourself and your loved ones
Finding good care
Daniel had been told by the Hospital that his Wife would need to move into a Care Home.
“I was devastated and had no idea what to do but when the Nurse said to speak to you and you would help me not only find somewhere but understand how it was going to be paid for, it was a blessed relief.” - Daniel
Moving into a Care Home
Sarah was worried about her Mum and wanted help finding the right care at home.
“We hadn’t had to do this before and Mum was adamant she didn’t need any help because we were there” “Once she had met you, she seemed happier that we weren’t going to take over or put her in a home and she was more open to the idea.” - Sarah
Worried about leaving someone alone?
Sebastian was working full time and worried about leaving his father alone at home because he had fallen.
“I didn’t know what on earth to do, terrified Dad would fall while I was out but needing to work was so hard, I felt guilty leaving him but didn’t have a choice” “I didn’t think of myself as a Carer. Thank you for your advice it has made such a difference to both of us!” - Sebastian
Losing a loved one
When Stella’s dear friend died she admitted that she was lonely.
“Sadness doesn’t really explain it. I was lost, we had been friends for so long. I wasn’t sure what life had in store for me, if anything and I hated being old but wasn’t ready to give up.” - Stella
Claiming Benefits
Sophie didn’t know what benefits she could claim for her Mum, a Benefit Check identified unclaimed benefits and gave her the guidance she needed to claim them
“When I got the Attendance Allowance form I put it in a draw because it’s 28 pages long and I didn’t have time or the energy to fill it in. Your advice, guidance and video was brilliant, I’m so grateful to you thank you, Mum has some more money to pay for her care and I don’t have to worry so much” - Sophie
Challenging Benefit Decisions
Denise had her personal Independence Payment stopped and had no idea where to start to challenge the decision and get it reinstated
“I didn’t have a clue. My benefits were stopped and I had no idea why, no letter, no explanation, nothing! Thank goodness I knew you could help as you had helped my friend to claim Personal Independence Payment. I am so grateful as I wouldn’t have got it back without you” - Denise
Making Life/Future Plans
Jim and Claire are parents to 36 year old Pip, who lives with a Learning Disability and works in a local shop. They wanted to make sure she was claiming the right benefits and make plans for her financial future whether that was living independently or if something happened them
“We were worried sick about Pip’s future and wanted to make sure she is provided for. Your advice was invaluable to us, giving us peace of mind knowing our darling girl would be ok when we aren’t here to support her” - Claire
Changing Needs
Where do you start when something happens to a loved one and you have no idea where this will take you or how to prepare for it because things are constantly changing!? What does the future look like, for them or for you? Sadly, this is the uncertainty that many face. It is so hard to prepare yourself for the unknown but there are things that you can be aware of that may help you to prepare regardless of the uncertain care needs.
