What Happens when Care Funds Run Out? - Solutions & Preventative Measures

Introduction

The cost of care is expensive, with self-funders generally commissioning a more expensive wrap-around package of care than the Local Authority would provide and moving into a care home much earlier than the State would commission such care.

This new virtual classroom seminar will consider whether it can be prevented and what can be done when money runs out.

It is aimed at fee earners who advise older and vulnerable adults, their family, attorney, or deputy.
