This may be for a better quality of life, or in preparation for the future, but may also be in response to a crisis, or a change in circumstances.

One of the biggest challenges facing society is how we look after the growing number of older people. Medical advances have given us longer, healthier lives, but the cost is the demands placed on us as individuals, families and communities try to care for parents, relatives and friends in later life. This book provides guidance on a subject that most of us will have to face, but which few of us know very much about. It explains what help carers, and those they look after, can expect from the state, and the other self-funded options available.
