Age Cymru Guide to Paying for Care
Age Cymru
and Hugh James have launched a guide to paying for care
Age Cymru and Hugh James have combined their expertise to
develop a guide on one of the main issues currently facing older
people in Wales.
Thousands of people
across Wales have to pay for care and many of them are forced to
sell their homes. The rules are often complicated and families
often lack a source of simple information at a difficult time. Age
Cymru and Hugh James has launched a “Brief guide to paying for
care” to highlight the main steps you will need to take when a
loved one has to enter a care home. The authors of the guide
were Lisa Morgan, Partner of our Nursing Care Team
and Katie-Anne Edwards from our Asset Management
department.
Meryl Randell-Jones, Head of Communications
and Marketing at Age Cymru says:
“Age Cymru and Hugh
James have worked closely this year to identify the issues that
really matter to older people in Wales. It is almost certain that
we or someone we love or care for will need some kind of care
during their lives, so we decided to produce this useful
step-by-step guide. Choosing a care home – either for yourself or a
loved one, is one of the most important decisions we may have to
make during our lifetimes. We hope that ‘Brief guide to paying for
care’ will provide many of the answers to difficult questions that
people are asking throughout Wales today."
Lisa
Morgan, Partner with Specialist Nursing Care Team at
leading law firm Hugh James states:
“Age Cymru and Hugh James
are dedicated to providing advice and guidance to older people,
their families and carers in our communities. The current rules on
paying for care are complex. Everyone should be entitled to access
to information they understand, information in a timely manner and
to know what options are available. We hope this brief guide will
meet this need”.
