Care Fees Advice
Robert Howard is frequently contacted and requested to provide advice when a family member is being assessed for residential care by a local authority.
If you have been informed by a local authority that a Financial Assessment of a loved one is being considered contact Robert Howard, we make no charge at all for the initial phone advice. More detailed advice, including written representations to a local authority are our speciality.
Such representations may cover the following:
The valuation of a property for care purposes as set out in the Care & Support (Charging Assessment of Resources) Regulations 2014.
The valuation of a property owned as a tenant in common following the death of the first co-owner.
When should a local authority offer a deferred payment agreement rather than force the sale of a property?
The method used by the local authority to calculate care fees is complex. Help is always available.
