“Feeling incredibly honoured to be named in this year’s HealthInvestor Power List, alongside so many people who care deeply about improving the lives of older people.

At Autumna and OpenScore, our mission has always been simple:
Families putting a loved one into care should know they’re safe, well looked after, and living with dignity, and good care homes deserve to have that recognised.

That’s what drives me every day. The OpenScore and Autumna team are helping families and amazing care homes who provide essential services.

Thank you to HealthInvestor for recognising this work, and and congratulations to everyone featured this year. I’m proud to be part of a sector full of people who care deeply about getting it right.” -Debbie Harris💚

💭 “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.
