Paying for care
When it comes to paying for care, Purely Care can accept funding from various sources. The majority of our clients are privately funded, whilst some have their care paid for by their local authority, others by NHS continuing care.
You may be eligible for Attendance Allowance or a local authority personal budget or a NHS personal health budget.
Long term financial planning.
If you require long term care in Norfolk or anywhere in East Anglia, a specialist financial advisor will be able to help you plan your costs for the present and the future. They will also know how to access other funding options that may be available to you. The Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA), a not-for-profit organisation helps people who need advice on funding to connect to experienced and accredited financial advisors. You can get in touch with SOLLA on 0333 2020 454 or visit them: www.societyoflaterlifeadvisers.co.uk
Anyone who is physically or mentally disabled and over state retirement age can claim Attendance Allowance.

The Money Helper also has a wealth of information on paying for care.
If you are receiving funding for your care from the Local Authority or NHS but they have not assessed you as needing live-in care, you can ask for your funding as a Direct Payment and top up to cover the cost of a live-in care package.
