Link of the month: Paying for Long Term Care
The information here has been developed by a group of public organisations and charities to help people make better and more informed decisions about paying for care and to encourage people to get information and advice about the use of their money in this regard.
Devon Carers Link provides information, support and involvement for carers who either live in the Devon County Council area or are looking after someone living in the Devon County Council area. It's free to join. Benefits of joining include:
- contact with someone to give you advice and support;
- access to Flexible Breaks Grants for help towards a holiday, hobby or leisure activity;
- access to the Take a Break sitting service, providing subsidised short breaks to give you time off from caring;
- A Carer Alert Card to ensure the person you care for gets help if something unexpected happens to you;
- a regular newsletter with information about events in your area.
We have staff based in Barnstaple, Exeter, Ottery, Tiverton, Totnes and Torquay. To join or find out more call 08456 431 341.
