It can be a difficult and emotional time when someone is
diagnosed with dementia, however it is the time to make informed
decisions and plans for the future for both of you. Having the right
information and support is key to you managing your future well.
Dementia
care is currently provided by a complex care system which is not easy
to understand, trying to negotiate your way through this system is
extremely challenging and stressful. This adds to the stress that
families are already under.
We will support and guide you through the complex care system at
this emotional time. We will help you understand what financial help,
services and support there is and how to access it. We will discuss what
legal documents you need to put in place and how to pay for care in the
future. We can also support you if you are caring for someone whose dementia has progressed and you do not have any services or support. We can introduce you to a competitively priced legal or financial professional if required.
Please choose the practical support you need, including:
We can help you to claim this non means tested benefit and to claim council tax reduction/exemption when Attendance Allowance is awarded.
