Old age is something that comes to us all if we are lucky and hopefully in pretty good health.

Long term care is designed to help you receive that hep in your own home or a nursing home.

Long term care insurance is designed to offer a planned way of covering all or some of the costs related to your long term care requirements. Normally by paying a lump sum in advance, through regular premiums or through an equity release scheme
Depending on your individual's assets you may get help from the state. If your assets are less than £11,500 they will cover all care costs. Some help may be available if you have assets of between £11,500 and £18,500, but this will be subject to a means test. If you are above this bracket you will be expected in most cases to fund the full costs if any residential or nursing home care.
