Understanding the ins and outs of care funding is essential for anyone who needs help for themselves or a loved one. It usually involves determining various aspects of a person’s financial situation, including income and savings. Understanding the level of care required and the funding sources such as local authorities, personal budgets, or social services is the next step.
