A KIDDERMINSTER care home is inviting the local community to a free event offering support for people considering care for their loved one.

The Care UK team at Brook Court, in Oldnall Road, will open the doors for its free 'Planning care for the future' event on Tuesday, September 26, between 2pm and 4pm.

An independent financial specialist will be on hand to help those caring for a loved one understand the available options for funding long-term care. They will also discuss the support you may be entitled to and what the NHS could cover.

After the event, there will be a question and answer session, where refreshments will be available, and those who attend will also have the opportunity to meet the team at Brook Court and take a tour of the care home.

Joanne Gill, home manager, said: "The advice and guidance provided at this event has always been very well received, and we hope all those considering the future care of a loved one will take the opportunity to benefit from our expertise.

"We are delighted to have an expert in financial management joining us for the event, who can provide guidance on the financial side of planning care."

To book your place at the free event, call customer relations manager, Rachel Mackay on 01562 757580 or email rachel.mackay@careuk.com.
