Care Advice
When a loved one goes into care, it is difficult to know where to start and where to turn for the correct advice. Here at Tollers, we have a unique Elderly and Vulnerable Client team, which can provide advice, support and assistance in relation to a number of the many issues surrounding care.
Care can be received in a number of settings and in a variety of circumstances. You may be providing care for your loved one at home or may have external carers coming into your own home. Your loved one may have been told that they need to go into a nursing or residential home and you don’t know where to start. It may be that you or a loved one have recently been diagnosed with Dementia and you want to know how best to protect your family, your finances and your future.
Whatever the situation, it is important to ensure you receive the right advice at an early stage to avoid entering into tricky agreements and to ensure that your loved one receives everything they are entitled to.
