General Information
Finding information about the Care System may seem a daunting process, there are also a lot of misconceptions about care for the elderly. The type of Long Term Care you choose will be determined by your particular needs. In developing a funding strategy for long term care, the starting point is to determine the level of financial support which may be available from the Government. Many people wrongly assume that they will have no entitlement because they own assets but this may not be the case Continue hereDirect payments are local council payments for people who have been assessed as needing help from social services, and who would like to arrange and pay for their own care and support services instead of receiving them directly from the local council. Care Home The Care Quality Commission (CQC) oversees a range of care services provided for older people and younger adults – including care homes, nursing homes and adult placements. Domiciliary care services also fall under CQC regulation ensuring that agencies are accountable for quality of the services they provide. Continue hereAction on elder abuse define elder abuse as: 'A single or repeated act or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust, which causes harm or distress to an older person'. Solicitors for the Elderly (SFE) is a national organisation of lawyers, such as solicitors, barristers, and legal executives who are committed to providing and promoting robust, comprehensive and independent legal advice for older people, their family and carers. |
