Future Care Plans..Just In Case

[GosportNancy29]

Everywhere I look, I see people advised to have organised future care plans.

This advice is on all kinds of sites for older people and really anyone who might have changes in their care needs in the future.

I decided to start things going by contacting Age Concern as Age UK suggested they might know what to do.

The following is what I sent in an email just now, to Age Concern

"Hello

I am looking for advice on organising a future care plan and wondered if you would be able to point me in the right direction.

I'm 63 and live alone with no outside support except a personal assistant who I pay for from my PIP payments.

I have heart failure, memory problems and balance and mobility issues.

I am currently on 5 housing waiting lists with Anchor Housing in Eastbourne and in my home town in Hampshire. I need support in helping me with moving into retirement housing and have been advised to sort out a future care plan

I have no idea how this works and Age UK referred me to you"

This is so important. Some friends and I are struggling to help another friend who is in hospital because we do not have enough information to be of assistance.

Good luck. Let us know what, if any, reply you get from Age Concern.
