At equityCare we can help you maintain and develop your care business. This is ideally achieved by securing higher levels of self-funders.
There is presently little help for self-funders although an extract from the CQC's response to the recent government Green Paper states:
"We know that when people need help or information, they want to get it from one place, get it right first time and to be enabled to make informed choices about the available options. We also know that people like information in a range of formats, but that it must be clear and straightforward."
They go on to say: "Where advocacy is concerned, people do not want to be passed from pillar to post, they need clear signposting to the resource that best meets their assessed needs. Universal access to advocacy services could provide the route to real and lasting support for all people with care needs."
Advocacy of the highest standard is assured by the prestigious Chartered Financial Planners status held by equityCare. Authorised IFA's specialising in care fees advice must obtain an extra qualification at NVQ level 3 known as CF8. But long term care is a complex area, so care providers will be doubly reassured when introducing chartered NVQ level 6 advisers, equityCare. Also, equityCare Legal Services are on hand for those in need of specialist legal advice.
equityCare provides a comprehensive range of services for professional care providers including:
- Group seminars
- Care fees guides
- Specialist speakers
- Regular newsletters
- Residents and relatives meetings
- Dedicated Legal help line for queries associated with care
- Essential Points to Consider -
- Do you run a residential or nursing home or home care service?
- Ever thought about protecting and increasing your cash flow?
- Do you want to increase the numbers of self funding clients?
- Wish to make sure your private clients remain self-funding for life?
- Would you like to plan your business expenditure with confidence?
- Can you no longer afford to take on more social services clients?
Protecting your income is the only way to ensure the survival of your business and ensure that the standard of care you actually deliver to your residents is not jeopardised by self-funded clients running out of money. This is not only traumatic for them and their families but often raises difficult decisions for care providers, simply because the resident did not receive the right financial advice at the right time.
