As we get older, there are a number of issues which may arise that require specialist legal advice. Some of these are covered under specific service pages on our website, such as wills and powers of attorney, but whatever your concern or question we have specialist solicitors who are members of Solicitors for the Elderly who can deal with your query in a sympathetic and expert manner.
Funding of care for the elderly is a growing concern for many. It is worrying enough to think that either you or a loved one might have to use a care home without the added concern of worrying about how the care will be paid for. Unfortunately, Primary Care Trusts may not apply the funding criteria correctly and, as a result, you may not receive NHS funding for care in a residential care home, nursing home, or in you own home, even though you are eligible.
Our specialists have successfully challenged many NHS care funding decisions over recent years and reclaimed thousands of pounds in nursing home fees for our clients. If you or a family member is in a nursing home due to physical or mental health problems you may be eligible to have your care home fees paid by the NHS. You may also be entitled to reclaim nursing home fees you have paid in the past.
Whatever question you might have about legal issues affecting the elderly client contact us for an initial discussion - we are here to help.
