Long-term care rising in advisers’ estimations

The joint managing director of care fees planning professional body Symponia said that the company’s 2013 annual conference highlighted the need to tackle the financing of long-term care.

More than 130 delegates attended the conference last week, which included the launch of a new awards scheme for long-term care advisers. Ms Davies said: “This year’s conference was particularly uplifting.

“As a business model, the future of care fees and later-life planning can only go from strength to strength. The penny has dropped; advisers are seeing the opportunities available to them.”
