Introduction

Where to get independent financial advice

Paying for care and support can be expensive and a long-term commitment, especially if you need permanent care in a care home.  

Before entering into any care arrangements, the council strongly recommends that you seek independent financial advice from a financial adviser registered with the Financial Conduct Authority and accredited by the Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA).

You can find more information on the SOLLA website.
