How To Finance Care For Elderly Parents

How do you finance care for elderly parents?

You don't have to, it's the responsibility of the local social services department to make sure that older people who need care get the care they need. It's up to them to sort out who pays for it and how that's worked out. Now as a younger relative, you may want to provide a bit of extra money to make sure that your parents get better care, a nicer room to themselves, and a bit more spending money, but that's up to you, and that's on top of what the council will provide. It's very important not to think you have to pay for the care. You don't. The social services department sorts all that out.
