If you are considering a deferred payment agreement or would like to find out more about the different ways to pay for care, the Carewise care funding advice scheme can help.

Carewise was set up by the  County Council, Age UK West Sussex, Brighton and Hove, the  Society of Later Life Advisers and West Sussex Partners in Care to offer information and advice on the different care options that are available and the best ways to pay for care. The scheme includes a panel of Carewise-approved independent financial advisers who specialise in providing financial advice about paying for long-term care.

To find out more, visit carewiseadvice.com or phone 0330 222 7000. Or you can call using Relay UK on 18001 0330 222 7000 (from a textphone or the NGT Lite app downloaded onto a computer, tablet or smartphone).
