At My Care Consultant our highly experienced consultants will guide you through the confusing and complex UK care system. We provide a fully independent service that helps you from sourcing suitable care and working out what you are entitled to, to signposting you to relevant professional services, without you having to navigate ‘blind’ through the complexity of rules, regulations and providers of different services and quality.

Whether it’s just a question you would like answered or a bespoke care planning service you need, we will help to resolve your concerns and find you solutions to your care needs.

Our care consultants will provide you with information and guidance to help you make informed decisions about your needs.

We offer guidance across many different areas dependent on your personal circumstances. For many of our clients, this frequently includes the following:

1. Your rights in respect of hospital discharge
2. The rules in respect of eligibility for (free) NHS Continuing Health Care
3. Your rights in respect of (means tested) Local Authority Social Care
4. Your eligibility for state benefits
5. Your care options
6. Personal care guidance
7. The available ways to pay for care
8. The importance of a Power of Attorney and having an up-to-date Will
9. Government legislation

Our Approach

Our Approach

Whilst we recognise that all people can find themselves in vulnerable circumstances as some point in their lives,  when it comes to those in need of care, the frequent urgency of their need and the complexity of the social care system they face makes this invariably the case. Whether we are dealing with the person in need of care, family members or legal representatives we will always do so sensitively, making sure all our clients understand the approach we will take when working with them. To this end we are proud to be an early adopter of the independent Financial Vulnerability Taskforce and its Charter. Whilst this initiative has initially focused on how financial advisers will act as a Safe Pair of Hands, it is equally applicable to other professional services including care navigators like My Care Consultant. Indeed our Technical Director, Tony Miles is one of the driving forces behind this initiative and a member of the Taskforce’s Steering Group.
