What is Care Fees Planning?

Care Fees Planning is about managing your finances to help cover the cost of long-term care — whether that’s receiving care at home or moving into a care home.

And with care costs continuing to rise, having a plan in place is essential.

With the right Care Fees Planning, you can help protect your savings, give yourself more choice over your care, and make sure you and your family are financially prepared, with no nasty surprises down the line.

Why Care Fees Planning is Important

Why Care Fees Planning is Important

  1. Protects your savings and assets: Without proper planning, care fees can quickly eat into your savings or may even force the sale of  assets, like your home.
  2. Ensures quality care: By planning ahead, you’ll have funds in place to give you more choice and flexibility — so you can choose the care that’s right for you, not just what you can afford at the time.
  3. Minimises financial stress: Our friendly, Teesside experts will help you build a clear strategy to manage care costs, so you and your family have peace of mind and fewer financial worries if care is ever needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Care Fees Planning

Isn’t there a cap on Care Fees?

No, there is currently no cap on care fees in the UK. Although a cap of £86,000 was proposed for October 2025, these reforms were scrapped by the new Labour Government in July 2024.

What financial support is available for Care Fees?

Financial support may be available through your local authority, depending on your circumstances. You’ll need to complete both a Care Needs Assessment and a Financial Assessment. If eligible, the council will inform you of their contribution. NHS-funded care may also be available through NHS Continuing Healthcare or NHS Funded Nursing Care.

Can I protect my assets from Care Fees?

Yes. There are legal and financial strategies, such as setting up a trust or transferring property ownership, that can help protect your assets from being used to pay for care.
