Money Box Live: Your Care Cost Questions Answered

We've raided the Money Box inbox to answer your questions on how to fund care in later life.

Paying for care in later life is something many of us will face. Unlike other NHS services, social care is not free at the point of use, the average annual care home cost is 拢60,000, if additional care is needed that price will go up.

After a recent special Money Box Live from Grange Care Residential 91热爆 in Sheffield we received so many questions that we simply couldn't get through them all on air, so we've raided the inbox and brought in the experts to return to the topic to answer as many was we can.

From how to plan to pay for care, what your money pays for, and how to challenge fees, Felicity Hannah, is joined by Tish Hanifan, the Founder of the Society of Later Life Advisors and Vic Rayner, CEO of the National Care Forum and Chair of the Care Providers Alliance.
