Care Home costs now £35,000 per year for elderly
The UK average annual fee for a single room in a nursing home, it is £35,100 according to the Laing and Buisson (Care of Elderly People) UK Market Survey 2008.
As of April 2009 (which allows for the increased threshold levels) your assets over £22,000 are liable to be ‘used’ to pay Care Home Fees that may accrue. You remain liable for a partial payment until the level of your assets falls below £14,000.
If you plan correctly you can greatly reduce your liability to pay Care Home fees. For this to work you and your spouse or civil partner need to put a suitable will trust in place whilst you both are healthy. This is really something everyone should consider.
