How can S & K Consultancy Ltd help you?

There comes a time when despite all the support from family and friends, our elderly need more time and care than perhaps it is possible for them to receive from their loved ones. Apart from the emotional struggle for both the family and the person in need, there is a mountain of complexity surrounding how to go about ensuring that the individual(s) needing care is able to obtain the best possible advice.

It is a fact that care matters are a complex area and because of this, there is not always an easy solution to a ‘problem’ due to the number of options and benefits available. As a number of our clients have often said “it’s not knowing who to contact and what questions to ask” that seems to be the stumbling block and this is exactly where we can help.

There are some questions which you should be asking Social Services and those that you should be asking the Care Agency or Care Home. By using our services, we can assist you in knowing who and what to ask or if you would prefer, we can do it for you.

So, if you need help and advice about care in any aspect, we can help. Being independent, we have no restrictions in obtaining information from all relevant sources (subject to obtaining your authorisation).

Who do you turn to for up-to-date advice especially if it is financially focused?

Where there is a requirement for a 'specialist' service for example legal work, accountancy or financial advice (product procurement), we work with a number of professional firms (solicitors, accountants, IFAs etc),to whom we can direct you if you do not have your own adviser (see below).

We are here to help. We are sympathetic to your needs and will do whatever we can to assist you at what can be a daunting, stressful and sometimes upsetting time.

We are therefore very pleased to be able to offer advice and services in the following areas of Care:
• Domiciliary Care (Care at Home)
• Residential Care Fee Funding and alternatives
• NHS Continuing Care
• Finding the right Care Home
• Care Quality Commission (CQC -formerly known as the Commission for Social Care Inspection
(CSCI) reports + ‘Star Ratings’
• Options when a property is owned
• Local Authority Financial Assessments
• State Benefits and Allowances (Attendance Allowance, Pension Credit etc)
