If you are supporting a loved one selling a home to pay for long-term care, you may find you get stuck providing evidence of the longevity of care needs when Social Services are not involved.

We had a lovely catch up with Golden Days Companion this week meeting with Nicki, who founded Golden Days in Waterlooville and the surrounding areas. Thank you for sharing a little about what we do 💙

💛 A lovely new connection for Golden Days
On Monday I had a really lovely meeting with Sarah from NovaCare Consultants, and I wanted to share a little bit about what they do because I think their services could be incredibly valuable for families.
Sometimes things become complicated when someone’s care needs change, especially when families are trying to understand what support is available, who is responsible for what, and what their loved one is actually entitled to.

NovaCare specialise in care, capacity and private client advisory services. They can help with things such as:
✨ Care needs and support assessments
✨ Mental capacity assessments
✨ NHS Continuing Healthcare advice
✨ Independent care reviews
✨ Care technology assessments and home installations
✨ Deputyship and wider health & welfare support
✨ Family group conferences
✨ Whole-life care planning
✨ Advice around NHS and social care decisions
✨ Support for families who are finding the care system confusing or difficult to navigate.

They also provide expert witness and professional advisory services, working with families, solicitors, organisations and other professionals.

What really stood out to me was the person-centred approach. It's about looking at the individual, their circumstances and what would actually work for them, rather than simply putting someone into a box because that's what the system says.

For me, this is another lovely connection to have alongside Golden Days Companion. 💛
At Golden Days, we’re about the companionship, practical support and helping people stay connected and independent. Sometimes, though, a family needs something beyond companionship... perhaps help understanding care needs, capacity, funding or navigating the wider health and social care system.
That's where having trusted people to signpost families towards can make such a difference.
It was genuinely lovely to meet Sarah, and I'm really pleased our paths have crossed. 😊

Sometimes it's not about doing everything yourself — it's about knowing the right people to connect someone with. 💛
