IF you or a relative is moving into a home, independent advice will be necessary.
Such advice is available free on the end of a telephone line. This charity, Counsel and Care, runs a special advice line on which calls cost only the same as if you were ringing a number locally.
Our experience as a national charity tells us that many older people have difficulty getting information they need to make such important decisions. Counsel and Care will not provide advice but send you a factsheet containing invaluable information.
If you would like help, please ring our advice line- 0845 300 7585 (open every week day from 10am to 12.30pm and from 2 to 4pm)
LOUIS ARTHUR (Counsel & Care), 16 Bonny St, London NW1 9PG.
