Money Box Live: Affording Care


Listen Later

A new government has taken office so what might that mean for the financial issues you've told us you care about?

A big topic you got in touch with us about is the cost of care in old age.

Unlike NHS services, social care is not free at the point of use and a place in residential care costs around £60,000 a year according to carehome.co.uk. The bill can go up enormously for anyone who needs extra support. Plus it's a devolved issue with different rules depending on where you live.

A cap limiting the cost of personal care to £86,000 per person over a lifetime is due to come into force in October 2025 in England but will this still be the case?

Felicity Hannah is joined by Nadra Ahmed from the National Care Association, which represents care homes and Simon Bottery, Senior Fellow in Social Care at The King's Fund, which is an independent think tank, specialising in health.

Presenter: Felicity Hannah

Producer: Sarah Rogers and Immie Rhodes
Editor: Jess Quayle

(First broadcast at 3pm on Wednesday July 10th 2024)
