Carewise – care funding scheme

With weekly care home costs of up to £1500 (depending on your needs and the provider), the cost of residential care will most probably be one of the most expensive purchases that people will make.

If you or a relative is considering long-term care, it is worth seeking independent financial advice from an expert before deciding on the best way to fund the care. The Carewise care funding scheme offers you access to a panel of care fees specialist who are experts in this field.
