Useful links for financial assessments and advice

We have a legal duty to help you access financial information and advice which is impartial and independent from the council.

These links can help you understand how care is funded, what your options are and where you can get advice.

Get independent financial advice

You can get personal financial advice to help you plan how to pay for your care.

  • This type of advice is regulated and tailored to you, but you will usually need to pay for it.
  • Costs can vary, so it is important to check fees before you agree.

We cannot recommend a specific adviser, but you can search for one through:

Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA) SOLLA helps you find advisers who specialise in later life and care funding.

The cost of care and support can be a substantial commitment. Taking the right advice now can help you plan for the future and make informed decisions.
