When a family member or friend goes into a care home, it can be a difficult time for all concerned. Having to navigate and understand residential care home funding can create extra stress. In this friendly online workshop, we will explain the basics of how care home fees are assessed and calculated. We will look at the upper and lower capital limits; what might happen to income such as state pension and occupational pensions; learn about free personal care and nursing care payments; and consider the frequently asked questions by carers facing this emotive situation.
This workshop will be useful for carers, volunteers and professionals working with carers in Scotland.
