With another Government U-turn, delaying the long-promised £86,000 social care cap until October 2025 at the earliest, practitioners and their clients will need to go back to basics when planning how to fund long term care needs and what funding support is available from health and social services. This talk will provide an update focussing upon the current topics and tensions in care funding advice, including:
- Care home funding and top ups, including the revised CMA Consumer Law Guidance for care homes
- Allegations of deprivation of assets and the LGSCO Focus Report
- Deferred Payment Agreements for care home residents
