Through recognising that financial outcomes and wellbeing go hand in hand, investors can ensure they make holistic plans, especially in later life, preparing not only for financial outcomes, but also for potential care needs. At Ingenious, we recognise that this is a specialist area with limited support, so investments in Ingenious Estate Planning (IEP) include complimentary access to the IEP Care Service.

Perhaps you have never really thought about care but wonder what it could cost, maybe you are concerned about the vulnerability of a loved one and would like to take some advice on their options, or you might just like to have the peace of mind that the service is there in an emergency. The IEP Care Service can be used as a one off, or with higher frequency, it’s up to you.
The IEP Care Service is provided by independent care consultants from a third party care adviser, Grace Consulting, many of whom have a medical background and have expert knowledge of later life care. The service includes:
How to communicate most effectively with the hospital
The assessment process and potential for rehabilitation
The hospital discharge process
Care options, including funded support
Finding and deciding on the most suitable setting for long-term care
