With your people every step of the way

STEP 1. CARE SUPPORT

Dedicated care experts help your employees find the right care for their elderly loved ones

Our care experts have 10+ years of experience, working or managing care homes.

They've seen what families really need when choosing care and watched families struggle with these decisions. They know exactly what questions to ask and red flags to spot.

When they recommend a care provider, it's because they'd trust them with their own family.

Questions people ask our care experts:
  1. Mum fell and broke her hip - can you help us source care quickly?
  2. Dad's dementia is getting worse - how do I know what care he needs?
  3. Can you help me find quality care homes within 10 miles of our house?
  4. Mum's savings are running out - what funding options are available?
  5. I'm struggling to balance work, kids and caring for my parents – can you help me find suitable at-home care?

STEP 2. FUNDING ADVICE

Specialised independent financial advisers support in securing funding and protect family finances

Our independent financial advisors specialise in the complex world of elderlycare funding and are members of the Society of Later Life Adviser Accreditation (SOLLA). 

They've guided families through the maze of care costs and funding options, after seeing how easily families can lose thousands through poor crisis decisions or missed opportunities. 

They understand how to protect family wealth while ensuring care.

Questions people ask our financial advisers:
  1. Will my relative have to sell their home to pay for care?
  2. What's the best way to use a pension to fund care?
  3. How do I make Dad's pension cover nursing home costs?
  4. Are we missing out on benefits that could help pay for Dad's at-home care?
  5. Can Mum get government support while she's in a care home?

Don't let your people get lost in the maze

The biggest challenge carers face is funding – and the process is overwhelming

  • 1-in-3 adults state they cannot afford care home costs for their parents (Commons Library 2024)
  • Local councils turn down 14,000 elderlycare requests every week (Age UK)
  • Attendance Allowance applications can take 6–8 weeks to process
  • Average weekly cost for UK care homes

     Residential Care Homes  Nursing Care Homes  Dementia Care Homes At-Home Care
     £1,298  £1,535
     £1,564
    £420
    These average care home fees are based on self-funding care home fees data from carehome.co.uk

How we help families navigate elderlycare

John & Dave, Lincolnshire - Finding the right nursing home for their dad

 Frame 6  The reality

John and Dave were drowning in conflicting advice about nursing homes for their father.  With demanding work schedules and no knowledge of the care system, they felt completely out of their depth choosing where their dad would spend his final years.

Frame 6  Our support

Our care expert cut through the confusion, identifying suitable nursing homes that matched their father's needs.  We arranged visits, liaised directly with managers, and provided clear guidance on care standards and costs.

Frame 6  The impact

The brothers found a home they trusted completely - impressed by the care quality, staff professionalism, and welcoming atmosphere. Their father was settled, and they could focus on work knowing he was in the right place.

"Having someone who knew the difference between homes that look good and homes that actually deliver gave us such peace of mind."

Kathy, Swansea – Unclaimed government support

 Frame 6  The reality

Kathy from Swansea, a grandmother of two, had dementia and was watching her life savings disappear paying for care. The family felt completely alone, not knowing what help existed or how to access it.

Frame 6  Our support

Our care expert discovered Kathy was missing out on £3,000 annual Attendance Allowance. We completed the complex forms with her and revealed other support she'd never heard of.

Frame 6  The impact

Kathy went from desperation to relief. Her financial stress lifted, and she finally had someone who understood the system she'd been struggling with alone.

"I had no idea I was entitled to all this help. I thought I was on my own." 

Tom & Emily, Brighton - Being prepared, not overwhelmed

 Frame 6  The reality

Thomas from Brighton was receiving good home care, but his family knew his health could decline. Emily, his daughter, was overwhelmed trying to research care homes while juggling work and family life, not knowing where to start or what questions to ask.

Frame 6  Our support

Our care expert worked with the family to understand Tom's current needs and preferences, then compiled a shortlist of ten suitable care homes. We contacted managers directly, arranged visits to their preferred options, and provided detailed information about facilities and activities for Tom's sociable personality.

Frame 6  The impact

The family felt prepared and informed instead of panicked and overwhelmed. Tom was placed on the waiting list at their chosen home, giving everyone peace of mind that quality care was secured when needed.

"With work & kids, we'd have struggled to gather all this information on our own."

Mark, Leeds - Transitioning parents into a at home care

 Frame 6  The reality

Mark and Sarah from Leeds were juggling two young children and full-time jobs when Mark's parents were ready to move back home. With Mark's father having MS and his mother's severe mobility issues, the family was overwhelmed trying to arrange proper home care while managing school runs and work deadlines.

Frame 6  Our support

Our care expert conducted a detailed assessment of both parents' needs, then identified and shortlisted five at-home care providers with the right expertise. We arranged home visits so the family could meet them face-to-face.

Frame 6  The impact

Mark's parents found carers who met all their specific requirements. The family's stress disappeared, and Mark and Sarah could focus on their children and careers instead of coordinating complex care arrangements.

"Having someone coordinate everything and help us choose appropriate care, made the transition manageable instead of overwhelming."
