Planning for care can sometimes raise important financial questions, particularly when considering long-term care for yourself or a loved one. Understanding your financial options can help ensure that care arrangements are sustainable and provide reassurance for the future.
At Bluebird Care Sutton Coldfield & Birmingham East, we understand that navigating financial decisions can feel complex. While we do not provide financial advice directly, we can help signpost you to trusted organisations that specialise in later-life financial planning.
The Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA)
The Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA) is an organisation dedicated to helping people find financial advisers who are specially qualified to advise on later-life financial matters.
Advisers accredited by SOLLA have demonstrated expertise in areas such as care funding, retirement planning and financial planning for later life. Their knowledge can help individuals and families make informed decisions when planning for care.
You can search for accredited advisers through the SOLLA website:

Regulated Financial Advice
When seeking financial advice, it is important to ensure that the adviser you speak with is properly authorised and regulated. Financial advisers in the UK must be regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).
Regulated advisers are required to meet strict professional standards and must provide advice that is appropriate for your individual circumstances.
You can learn more about financial advice and regulation through the FCA website:
FCA Financial Services Register
The Financial Services Register allows individuals to check whether a financial adviser or firm is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority.
Before receiving financial advice, it can be helpful to confirm that the adviser appears on the FCA Register.
