How to Pay for a Care Home

It can be a daunting and emotional time when you or a family member decides to move into a care home. Often the situation can be made more difficult by the complexities involved in paying for care, the terminology and even how to apply for the various benefits available.

Explore our easy-to-follow guides that cover methods of paying for care, including care home funding options, application processes, and answers to frequently asked questions. These resources are designed to simplify your journey and help you make informed decisions about care funding.

It’s important to get professional advice on the best way to fund the cost of care and we suggest that you take advice from a care fees expert to make sure that you have explored all the options available to you.  The information in these guides is correct at the time of writing, but because things change, please double check any details and take professional advice before making any financial or legal decisions.

To support you in your search for care, we have contacted a national care fees planning specialist, Symponia who specialise in financial issues for later life, including payment of care fees. To learn about how Symponia can support you, download their helpful handbook.
