Taking the worry out of paying for care

If you, or a family member, are facing an immediate need for care, and have savings or capital of more than £23,000, you can expect little help from the State towards your care fees.

This Care Fees Advice service is provided by NHFA Ltd, our chosen firm of Independent Financial Advisers and Care Fees specialists. NHFA Care Fees Advisers provide impartial financial advice, helping you find the best way to pay for care fees.

The service is designed to provide peace of mind, keeping you safe in the knowledge that care can be paid for as long as it is needed and that your savings are preserved, where possible, to leave as an inheritance or spend as you wish.

What's involved?

Once you have completed and returned your Care Fees Planning Questionnaire, or filled in the online application form, an NHFA Care Fees Adviser will contact you and, if you wish, arrange to visit you at home to discuss your needs in more detail. Once the Adviser fully understands your needs and wishes, they will prepare a detailed tailored report fully outlining the different ways you might wish to consider funding your immediate or future care needs.

Advice from one of NHFA's Care Fees Advisers is available to all regardless of means. There is no obligation for you to follow any of the Adviser's recommendations at any time.

NHFA Ltd is registered in England and Wales - registration number 04620891. NHFA Ltd is a member of the HSBC group.
