care information 

Welcome to 'care information'. 

When it comes to long-term care, we all want to make the right choice - for ourselves and our loved ones. So arranging the right kind of care is crucial for your welfare and your peace of mind.

In the following pages, we will help you understand the background to the care system - and guide you through the range of choices available to help you plan for the future.

The care options are in three categories : care at home / residential care / finance. Each section contains factsheets compiled with the assistance of the Elderly Accommodation Council and Counsel & Care.

From this page you can also link to some Frequently Asked Questions about social care, and to fact sheets on care assessments and complaints.
