Later life care is generally something that people never plan for and often hits families at the time of crisis. It’s only when eldercare for a loved one needs to be considered that the realisation sets in, that this can be a very confusing and complex system.
And while we may work for an organisation that provides care and housing for later life, many of us will be unfamiliar with what the journey would be for their own loved ones to access services like ours.
One of our benefit providers, Legal and General, have launched a brand-new service to help with this – Care Concierge – which is a confidential telephone guidance service which allows employees to speak directly to a care expert, about later life care needs for a loved one.
As an Anchor employee, you can access their Guidance package free of charge.
The benefits of this package include;
- A 30-minute telephone consultation with a care expert
- Support and an understanding of what type of care is needed, as well as how to arrange it
- Guidance on typical care costs and the available options towards paying for care
- An e-mail summarising everything discussed, tailored care guides, and a list of relevant services
