Tackling the 'yawning gap' between professional and care sectors
Manage episode 463424799 series 3467886
In the first episode of the fourth series of the Today's Wills and Probate Podcast, host David Opie is joined by Alison Hesketh of TimeFinders; a service best described as providing later life admin support.
Filling the "yawning gap" between the legal and financial professions, and the care sector, Timefinders was set up in 2010 following Alison's own experiences of supporting her family.
Initially focused on retirement downsizing, the business rapidly widened its services to help people 'live in the right place at the right time.' There is little information about care options and contingency planning, says Alison. And as we are regularly reminded, when only c.60% of the adult population have a Will, encouraging people to think about what happens in later life can be challenging.
"What happens if you can't drive any more; what happens if you can't get upstairs and you don't have facilities downstairs... these questions are things people don't want to think about but what we find is when we guide them through that process, every single time clients say they feel so much better because it's been a worry in the back of my mind."
TimeFinders works with legal and financial advisors to ensure people are properly prepared with up to dates Wills and Lasting Powers of Attorney as an example. Their advocacy service is designed to help clients make important decisions about their future while they can; and often work with people whose own family is unable to provide that dedicated support, whether through distance or other commitments.
It's disappointing, concludes Alison, successive governments have kicked the social care can down the road and we have to do something to protect the most vulnerable in society.
