Care Home Based Appointeeship Plan
Our care home based appointeeship plan is for individuals who now reside in a care or nursing home and require an independent appointee to manage their welfare benefit entitlements and ensure their care and other bills are paid on time.
Money Carer has thousand of clients who are supported in a residential care setting and we work alongside the care home staff to support our mutual client with their money management needs.
A lot of our clients in residential care and nursing homes are older people who rely on us to ensure that regular services such as chiropodists and hairdressers are paid on time and to provide their Personal Expenditure Allowance (PEA) either to them directly or to the care home residents account.
