If you need care and support, you should get independent financial advice so that you can make the best decisions for you.

An independent financial adviser can help you decide how to make your money cover long term care costs. They'll also make sure you're claiming all the benefits and allowances you're entitled to.

Many independent financial advisers offer a free first consultation, then charge either a fee or commission. You should ask about any charges before asking them to do any work for you.

Find a financial adviser

We can't recommend a particular advisor or advice service; make sure you find out that any adviser is qualified.

The Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA)

SOLLA helps people to find independent financial advisors who specialise in the financial needs of older people. All advisors have to prove that they're qualified before they are accredited by SOLLA. See the adviser search on the SOLLA website to find a local, fully accredited advisor.
