-- Angels Private Home Care, a specialist home care service provider, is working to ensure more families understand the financial support options available to help cover some costs of home-based care. The company is encouraging people to seek advice before making important decisions, having noted how many families assume they must pay for care at home in full themselves.
The family-run team, which is based in Lytham St Annes, has highlighted the prevalent confusion about how funding for home care works and offers independent support to ensure those who may be entitled to support with care costs can arrange this alongside implementing personalised at-home care.
How Complexities Around Home Care Funding Are Causing Confusion for Families
With a doctor-led care model overseen by Dr Sushil Jayaharan, an experienced NHS consultant specialising in the care of elderly patients, and Registered Manager at Angels Private Home Care, the independent business takes a tailored approach to home care.
Its flexible model helps families find care tailored to them, taking into account loved ones’ health needs, routines, and preferences, while offering ongoing reassurance throughout a process which for many may be emotional and unfamiliar.
Drawing on decades of clinical expertise caring for elderly patients with complex health conditions, Dr Jayaharan helps ensure care plans are informed by medical experience as well as compassion. His involvement enables Angels Private Home Care to identify changing health needs earlier, review medication where needed, and help families make informed decisions about support.
The team has noted that there are several potential ways to access financial assistance, including:
- Local authority funding
- NHS Continuing Healthcare
- Attendance Allowance or Personal Independent Payment (PIP)
- Carer’s Allowance
While eligibility will depend on personal circumstances, the organisation has found that many families organising visiting care, specialist dementia support or more complex nursing care are not aware that they may be entitled to funding or benefits to help with the costs of care.
Angels Private Home Care Aims to Inform Families of Care Funding Help
Dr Jayaharan, speaking on behalf of Angels Private Home Care says, ‘One of the misconceptions we often come across when we’re speaking with families is that they believe they will always need to manage 100% of the cost of care entirely alone, when there are support systems in place they might qualify for.
We know that the funding system can seem complicated, especially for families already coping with the emotional impact of trying to support a loved one with changing health. Our focus is on taking the time to explain the options, helping people understand what support might be available, and guiding them through the process.
Being a family-run home care team gives us that capacity to spend extra time with families, getting to know their circumstances and concerns first-hand. We believe that practical advice and genuine reassurance should always be at the heart of good home care from the very first visit.’
This service reflects Angels Private Home Care’s ethos of supporting families throughout all the stages of their home care journey, equipping them with the knowledge they need to make informed decisions about what the right care will be for themselves or their loved one.
Angels Private Home Care welcomes people interested in at-home care support to get in touch, with care services that extend across Lytham St Annes to other local areas such as Preston, Blackpool South Shore and Wesham.
The hope is that by extending an offer of independent help, more families will be able to access the support they need sooner, and that this will ensure elderly loved ones remain safe and comfortable in familiar surroundings for as long as possible.
