Long-Term Care Planning
If you live in England or Northern Ireland and your personal assets are worth more than £23,250, you will have to fund the long-term care you will receive. Yet less than 15% of people who do not qualify for financial support will have sought the appropriate and regulated financial advice before entering care.*
People are living longer lives than ever, which also means there is a greater need for social, medical and health services.
Arranging care for yourself or a loved one is extremely complicated and can cause stress and worry on top of an already emotional situation. You may have to deal with issues involving mental capacity, the type and location of care home needed, eligibility for state benefits, Lasting or Enduring Powers of Attorney** and providing the funding for the care itself. You may also wish to protect your wealth so that some inheritance may be passed on to the next generation.

There are pros and cons to the funding solutions available for long-term care, so it is important to seek financial advice from a specialist adviser as early as possible and understand your options. At McMillan Wealth Consultants, we will work with you to find the right solution for your needs, whether you are concerned about saving for care home fees or are facing the possibility of needing to pay these fees now.
