Immediate Care Plans
By providing guaranteed payments direct to the care home or care provider for the rest of the time that the person covered by it needs care, not only does an immediate care plan remove the worry about what happens if savings run out, but such payments are tax free. This can make them very attractive as compared to making payments out of taxed income and savings
Pre-funded Care Plans
Although we are living longer, we are not necessarily living healthier and so larger numbers
of people will find themselves needing care in the future. Although there is a limited range
of products available, you don't have to wait until the problem arises as there are "pre-funded" insurance plans that payout in the event of need. Taken in advance of the need for care these plans workout very much less costly than immediate care plans where benefits are always paid immediately. They also avoid the need to tie up large asset values "just in case" the need for care arises.... more info

Although regulated so that the same level of financial protection as for other financial products now applies, it is vitally important to understand the disadvantages as well as the advantages of equity release type plans. For this reason expert advice from expert care fees planners should be sought before entering into any such arrangements.... more info
