Mike. Yes some interesting thoughts. Some observations.. I agree the advantage in self funding is that one, or ones relatives, can select the most appropriate care home although, as you say, there is always the concern of exhausting the money supply and, if the home isn't on the local authority list, the elderly person may have to move: not a desirable situation. (There are care plan financial products that can mitigate this but I'm not sure of their practicalities or suitability for all.) Wealth these days is often mainly in their property and rental income is insufficient to sustain the fees. Selling at present has been difficult in some areas and the cladding problem, even if it isn't a fire risk, is clogging the market in flats as mortgage companies won't loan money: yet another issue. Continuing health care seems almost impossible to claim unless one's at death door: dementia and Alzheimer's are insufficient. Your idea of a tapering payment is interesting but there's still the issue that some homes are self funded only and those that take both self and local authority funded residents use the self funded to subsidise the lower rate for local authorities. That seems unfair, particular as there seem to be differences in the way authorities act; some, if the local social services stipulate someone should be placed in a home will pay the fees to the home and then recharge the fees to the self funding resident thus allowing payment at the lower rate. Perhaps Townshend et al had an insight to the future with My Generation :-( |
