Offering Advice and Assistance in the Care Planning Arena

Thanks to advances in medicine and a better quality of life, people are now living longer than ever before. The downside of this is a higher prevalence of illness and disability in later life. Simple tasks such as washing, walking and preparing meals can become more difficult, and in many cases – as many as 1 in 3 – professional care is the only solution.

Care in later life, whether for yourself or a relative, can appear a complex and confusing issue. We are here to help.

With the annual cost of a room in a nursing home estimated to be on average £35,984*, how to pay for care can be a major concern for many people, particularly when people with assets over £23,250** will be required to fully fund their own care.

Global Financial Limited has financial advisers who specialise in providing assistance and advice in care funding. We can help you or your loved ones consider the options available and assist you in minimising the impact of long term care fees. Some of our solutions can even offer a guaranteed regular income – tax free if paid directly to a nursing home – for as long as it is needed. So there is no need to worry about money running out when you most need it.
