What Is Long-Term Care?

Although there is no formal definition, we usually refer to this term to indicate the care and support services in the community. These services could be residential care, nursing homes or care at your home.As most services come under the umbrella of social care, and not directly in health, you may have to pay for it.

How Can You Fund Your Long Term Care?

Go For a Care Fee Payment Plan

This is a pension contract, which is specifically designed for the elderly who require long-term care and attention. You invest a little money before retirement, each month. In return, it assures you a guaranteed income for life

Downsizing

Saving a little amount of money or investing in a small property can help you get money for your care costs.

Equity Release

Equity release is a means of retaining use of your house or other object which has capital value, while also obtaining a lump sum or a steady stream of income, using the value of the house.
This assures a steady income, which you can use to pay for your long term care.The concept is that, you have to pay the amount later when the property is sold. You should only consider equity-release scheme once you have tried all the other options.

Investment Bonds

Investment bonds are also another source of income that can be used for care costs. However, the returns may not be enough to cover your costs, and your money will be tied there for a longer time. So, this is not one of the best options.
