💭 “Are next of kin responsible for paying care home fees?”

It’s a question that worries many families when a loved one moves into care. In most cases, the answer is no, the person receiving care is responsible for their own fees, based on their income and savings.

However, things can get more complex if you’ve signed a guarantor agreement, share property, or have joint assets. Understanding these details early can help protect your family’s finances and bring peace of mind.

Always review any care home contracts carefully and seek professional financial advice before agreeing to anything.

🏡 Deciding whether a care home is the right choice isn’t easy. Many people want to stay independent but also need more support, while families often face a mix of love, worry, and responsibility.

Care homes can offer reassurance with round-the-clock support, social interaction, structured routines, and relief from daily tasks - but they can also mean emotional adjustment and loss of some independence.
