It's important to have conversations with your family about the type of care and support you would want before it is needed. Think about what is important to you and how you would want your care to be provided.

• Independent financial advice can help when you are choosing how to finance your care and if it will be affordable over the long-term
• Personal care in the home - when you need somebody to help with your daily routine from getting up in the morning through to going to bed at night
• Mental capacity - thinking ahead about what will happen if you can no longer make your own decisions or manage your own care
