North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) has launched a new initiative called ‘PayingForCare’ to assist people in planning for long-term care. The system provides access to independent information about:

• financial matters: claiming state benefits and advice on funding care
• legal matters: Power of Attorney and wills
• different types of care which may be needed

For further information telephone 0808 208 9994 or visit the ‘PayingForCare‘ website.

If you would like a free copy of the care services directory, which also includes details of the ‘PayingForCare’ scheme,  please call 01609 780780
