Self-Funding Care

Helping you to understand how to finance long-term care At Oxford Aunts we have helped thousands of families better understand how they can finance care of a loved one whilst providing guidance on any funding they may be entitled to. If your financial circumstances mean you are not eligible for any social care funding or healthcare funding, then you will need to finance care yourself – this is commonly known as ‘self-funding care’. It is prudent for families that are self-funding care at home for an older loved one to begin planning as soon as is practically possible. This means you have more options as to how you can finance care – investments in bonds, realising savings and investing in...

Benefits of Live-in Care?
