Funding for care: Support for securing care costs

How we can help

Navigating care funding involves complex rules, legal jargon, and challenging decision-making processes. At Anthony Gold Solicitors, we provide tailored legal advice to help you secure the support you or your loved one needs.

Our expertise covers a broad spectrum of care funding scenarios, ensuring you have an experienced partner to rely on every step of the way.

Local authority care funding

Local authorities play a key role in funding social care, but the process can be fraught with obstacles. We assist with:

Financial assessments: Ensuring local authorities conduct fair assessments of income and assets.
Eligibility challenges: Advising when funding is denied or incorrectly calculated.
Care plans & contributions: Helping you understand your obligations and navigate agreements with care providers.
Deprivation of assets disputes: Protecting your property and assets from being unfairly treated as part of funding calculations.

NHS continuing healthcare funding

Accessing NHS Continuing Healthcare funding can significantly reduce care costs, but the process is often difficult to navigate. We support with:

Applications: Preparing strong applications that meet the criteria for full funding.
Appeals: Challenging decisions when funding is refused or withdrawn.
Disputes over care packages: Ensuring that the level of care provided meets clinical and personal needs.

Protecting assets & property

Preserving family wealth while securing care funding is a key concern for many clients. Our team provides expert advice on:

Safeguarding property from being sold unnecessarily to pay for care.
Addressing disputes over asset transfers or allegations of deprivation of assets.
Helping you structure finances to comply with legal and funding requirements.

Supporting deputies & attorneys

Deputies and attorneys managing the financial affairs of individuals who lack capacity face unique challenges. We offer:

Guidance on navigating care funding processes on behalf of the individual.
Advice on making decisions that comply with legal obligations under the Mental Capacity Act.
Resolving disputes with local authorities, care providers, or family members.

Challenging unfair decisions

Care funding decisions are not always fair or accurate, and disputes can arise over financial assessments, eligibility criteria, or care plans. We provide robust support for:

Appeals against local authority or NHS decisions.
Legal action to rectify improper assessments or decisions.
Advocacy to ensure vulnerable individuals’ needs are met and their rights are upheld.
