Care In The Home

Most people want to stay in their own home for as long as possible, even when they start to need additional care to help with their daily living. It is even strongly encouraged by the UK Government.

For many people, organising home care is a new experience. New decisions need to be made, and it is often difficult to know where to go for advice.

That is where equityCare can help you.

• We can link you up with an independent care counsellor who will help ensure that you make the right decisions and choose the right home care provider for you.
• You might want to adapt the home to make life that little easier, convert a bathroom or add a stairlift perhaps, who do you turn to for help?
• What if you or a loved one doesn't think as clearly as they once did, who will make decisions on their behalf? There may be legal issues to consider, we can help with that too.
• We can guide you through the local authority maze, and find out if they can support you.
• If not, we can help you to use your income and assets in the best possible way, to pay for the care you need.

For advice on all of these, call our Helpline on 0800 014 1640. It is a free service that offers advice and information for older people, their families and carers, about care, and the financial options available to you.
