Why is planning for care home fees important?
Planning for care home fees is important because it can help you protect your assets and ensure that they are passed on to your loved ones. Without proper planning, your assets could be used entirely to pay for care home fees, leaving nothing or significantly less for your beneficiaries.
Planning for care home fees can also provide peace of mind and reduce stress for you and your family. Knowing that you have a plan in place can help to alleviate some of the anxiety associated with the prospect of needing long-term care in a care home.
