Moving into Care

 

 

We have over 30 years experience of the care sector and can assist with arranging home care where required or, where an elderly or infirm client, or relative, may need to move into a care home, or nursing home, we can help with sourcing one which provides an appropriate and suitable type of care, manage the process of moving and, once they are in residence, act in an advocacy capacity if required, arrange to carry out personal shopping, clothes buying and labeling, cataloguing the person’s effects and making sure that important documents are sent to their solicitors.

We speak to agencies to coordinate aspects such as council tax exemptions, and consolidate utilities and other bills to be passed onto you, most of the things which can be time consuming and difficult, particularly if long distances are involved.

In addition, Fiona can act in an advocacy role, liaising with statutory bodies, relatives, solicitors and family members, to ensure that appropriate and beneficial care is delivered. Understanding the processes involved, from many years experience, Fiona is well versed in the many diverse aspects of this stage of life, which can be stressful and daunting.
