People in Leamington Spa are invited to find out more about planning future care on Thursday 25th February from 2pm to 4pm at the Priors House care home on Old Milverton Lane.

The care team at Priors House are joining forces with Tim Field, from Lifestyle Future, and a specialist solicitor from Wright Hassall, for a free information-led event which will provide guidance on funding long term care – whether caring for someone in their own home or looking at residential care – and providing information about powers of attorney. 

Home manager at Priors House, Julia Joy said: “It has been revealed that by 2030 there will be more than two million people aged 65 and over in the UK with no child living nearby to give care if needed*. This means more and more people will be worrying about the future care of loved ones and, of course, how the care is going to be funded is one of the most important practical considerations.

“At Care UK, we understand that having access to the right information and clearly delivered advice can help families make sense of the options available to them. We have therefore invited these trusted professionals along to lead this free event at Priors House. Both are experts with a wealth of experience in matters surrounding the funding of care and we are sure they will help to transform the experiences of many who are looking into planning care for the future.”

After the event there will be a question and answer session. Visitors can also take the opportunity to meet the care team at Priors House and to look around the care home if they wish.
