How will we pay for care? 

The first step is understanding whether your loved one will be eligible for funding or have to self-fund. If their capital, income, and savings push them outside the threshold, they will be responsible for funding their care fees. 

You can find out more about financing care in our recent blog.

It may be worthwhile seeking professional financial advice through a financial adviser or even through organisations, such as the list below, that specialise in care fee planning: 

• GOV.UK
• Age UK
• Alzheimer's Society
• Society of Later Life Advisers
  

Please note that we do not endorse one particular organisation.

‍Person-centred care

At Abbey Total Care Group, we understand that transitioning into care can be unsettling and emotional for residents and their families. We pride ourselves on building solid relationships with each resident, their families and friends. We believe this provides a seamless adjustment into life in care, allowing residents to continue their routines as usual. 

Our approach to care is based on each resident's individual needs. We recognise that to give the best possible care and build strong relationships, we must meet each resident's requirements. This is a partnership between us and our residents. 

We pay attention to our residents and their unique needs. No one person is the same, meaning that no one person’s care routine should be the same. We tailor our routines to fit each resident’s physical, emotional, and medical needs. In our eyes, it is paramount that the highest amount of care is received by each resident.
