While there are lots of factsheets and leaflets available on care and its funding, these are generic and often only provide an overview of the system. In practice, care is a highly personalised issue and The Care Advice Line’s information and advice service is able to reflect your individual circumstances, offer advice which is specific to your situation and provides easy to follow, joined up help which we know you will find cost effective.
