Care at Home: Easier Said Than Done

“We just want a bit of help at home.”

Sounds simple. But in reality, it involves:
✔ Understanding assessments and eligibility
✔ Managing personal budgets or direct payments
✔ Recruiting reliable carers

We walk families through all of it — so they can focus on care, not red tape.

When Caring Feels Like a Full-Time Job… It Probably Is

Many people caring for family do over 35 hours a week — unpaid - for love.

We help:
✔ Identify what support you can claim
✔ Access benefits
✔ Protect your rights as a carer

It’s okay to need help. And to ask for it.

When someone you love dies, life can feel like it’s falling apart.

If that person was your partner, your carer, or the one who kept things going — the loss is more than emotional. It’s practical too.

We see this so often: people trying to hold everything together while they wait for an assessment, unsure what to do next.

Our advice? Don’t wait.
If care is needed, get help in place now — even short-term. Keep the carers you had for the couple. Bring in someone daily, even just to check in.

Please don’t feel you have to do it all yourself.

We’ve written a guide for what to do after a loved one dies — especially if someone is now left vulnerable or in need of support.

You’re not alone. We’re here when you need us.

“We Didn’t Know That Was Even an Option…”

We hear this all the time.

Families don’t know what funding or support they’re entitled to.

That’s why we offer:
✔ Clarity around care choices
✔ Expert advice on benefits and funding
✔ A roadmap for moving forward

Start with a conversation. Make an appointment online

Helping Families Complete Forms with Confidence

Benefit forms like Attendance Allowance or Pension Credit aren’t just paperwork — they’re a barrier for many families.

For someone already overwhelmed by caring duties, filling in 30+ pages asking for intimate details can feel impossible.

At Care Navigators, we offer:
✔ One-to-one support with form-filling
✔ Help wording answers to reflect real needs
✔ Guidance on what evidence to include
✔ Reassurance that nothing has been missed

We make the process kinder, clearer, and far less daunting — for the people who need it most.

When Your Parent Says “Don’t Fuss”… But You’re Worried

💔 It’s hard when someone you love is clearly struggling — but won’t ask for or accept help.

We support families with:
✔ Gentle conversations about care
✔ Exploring options they might accept
✔ Getting help in without taking over

It’s not about forcing — it’s about guiding.

25/06/2025

The Benefit You Might Be Missing

Attendance Allowance isn’t means-tested — but thousands of eligible people never apply.

Why? Because the form is long, intrusive, and confusing.

We help families:
✔ Understand who can claim
✔ Word things properly (without downplaying needs)
✔ Get the right rate — first time, if possible

Let’s make sure you or your loved one doesn’t miss out.

Every day, I’m asked the same questions:

How do we pay for care? Are we entitled to anything? Where do we even start?

That’s why I created these free Care Funding & Benefit Guides – to give clear, trusted answers in plain English.

They’re now updated for 2025/26 – and I’d love for you to download and share them with anyone who needs support.

If paying for care was like booking a wedding…

👰 Would you go ahead without checking the budget?
💳 Put everything on a credit card and hope for the best?
📒 Or ask Aunt Sue because “she did one once”?

Paying for care is a huge commitment—and often more costly than a wedding.

Get expert advice now, before the price tag gives you cold feet.

Ever tried building IKEA furniture without instructions?

Welcome to the world of care funding.

Families are handed complicated rules, missing pieces, and zero support.

Because a “care flat-pack” without instructions is a disaster waiting to happen, we have built easy-to-follow guides

PIP Decisions Can Be Wrong — And Cost People Thousands

Personal Independence Payment (PIP) is meant to help with the extra costs of living with a disability or long-term health condition.

But far too often, the decision is wrong.

A recent client came to me in tears — their claim had been rejected, even though their condition clearly affected daily life.

We looked through the decision, spotted several errors, and submitted a mandatory reconsideration request.

Three weeks later — their award was approved.

That one decision was worth £7,259 a year.

It’s not just about the money. It’s about fairness, dignity, and being heard.

If you’ve been turned down for PIP, or you’re struggling with the forms, don’t give up. Get help.

I’m here if you need expert advice.
