Why We Recommend SOLLA Advisors

We are often asked whether we provide financial advice on paying for care. While we explain how care fees and funding options work, we are not regulated advisers. That’s why we recommend accredited Society of Later Life Advisers (SOLLA) professionals- trusted experts in later life financial planning and care funding advice.

As SOLLA affiliate members, we share their commitment to raising awareness, promoting integrity and ensuring individuals and families receive the highest standard of independent care and financial guidance.
