🏡 Can they take my house if I go into care?

This is probably the question we’re asked the most ‼️

😟 it depends on other factors …

🏠 Who still lives in your home
👫 Whether you have a spouse living there
📋 Your financial circumstances
💷 The type of care you need

Every situation is different, so it’s always worth getting advice before making big financial decisions.

🧐The is no simple answer…

Nobody takes anything from you, but if your house is the only asset then care needs paying for- this is how I help

🏡 What is your opinion on residential care homes?

For many people, the first time they ever step inside a care home is when a loved ❤️one suddenly needs one.🌷

Some think they’re cold and clinical.
Some think they’re the last resort.
Others have had amazing experiences.

💭 The truth is, every care home is different, and choosing one can be one of the biggest decisions a family will ever make.

👇 why not come to Our event in Beverly
Informal and friendly and have a look around and ask questions and have time to hear from the professionals 👌🏻

❤️ Have you ever visited a residential care home?

Although I speak to my clients regularly there is often gaps between our visits face to face

It can be quite striking to notice the difference from one year to the next. ⏳

Nobody likes getting older or losing the ability to do things, but I’ve seen how quickly someone’s mobility, health, or mental capacity can change from one visit to a next 😩

‼️ I always believe planning ahead is so important.

✔️It is far better to make decisions while things are calm, considered, and not driven by crisis or urgency. 📝

A gentle reminder:

✅ Get your Powers of Attorney sorted
✅ Get your Will written
✅ Start thinking about inheritance tax before it becomes too late
✅Be realistic
✅ Protect your loved ones financially

Planning ahead is not just about money. It’s about protecting yourself, your family, and the people you care about. ❤️

💜 CONNECTED IN CARE 💜

✨Something exciting is coming… ✨


📅 Save the Date — Thursday 9th July (Evening Event)

Yesterday, a group of local professionals came together at Parklands Care Home to plan an informative and relaxed evening to help families better understand later life planning, care, and estate preparation 🏡📖💙

The evening will include guidance and practical information from experienced professionals covering:

⚖️ Leah Hanson , Solicitor — why having the right Will in place matters, ensuring assets go where intended, and the importance of Lasting Powers of Attorney.

🧠 Sue and Hannah — Mental Capacity Assessments, when they may be needed, and how they help protect both the donor and attorney when preparing legal documents.

🏡 Beverley and Angus from Parklands Care Home — talking about the home, the care and support available, and the costs involved.

💷 Myself — discussing ways to pay for care to help ensure funds do not run out, also exploring whether it may be possible to leave some money behind for loved ones if that is important to you.

🍷🧀 🫖 And most importantly… cheese, wine & refreshments! ☕️

A really informative evening in a relaxed setting with the opportunity to ask questions and meet local professionals 🤝

👀 More details coming soon… watch this space!
