Last month I gave a presentation to a group of professionals setting out my “7 point plan to finding the right care”

1. Assessment – understanding your social, personal care and nursing needs
2. Personal wishes – choosing the right care option for you
3. Bespoke research – identifying the most suitable provider of your preferred care option
4. Accessing all available funding – establishing how it is going to be paid for
5. Navigating the care maze – knowing who to speak to and the questions to ask
6. The legal framework – understanding your rights
7. Mediation, advocacy and the ability to listen – coping with the emotional fall out

It generated a lot of interest and discussion but the overall message received was how reassured the attendees were to know that I provide a service which embraces all of these issues, whether this be for their own family or for their clients.
