A NEW event aims to help carers choose the best options for looking after their family members.

Home Instead Senior Care in Bolton and financial planning company Berkeley St James organised the free care planning event to take place on June 13, giving carers advice on methods of funding and what they need to pay for.

It will be held at the Holiday Inn, in Higher Bridge Street, between 2-4pm.

Steve Williams, owner of Home Instead Bolton, said: “We are delighted to be supporting this important care planning event next month. We know from experience that families want to do the best they can for their loved ones when it comes to needing care in later life.

“With a bit more know-how and awareness of the options, families can make choices for their loved ones financially viable too. We hope that as many people as possible come along to help with their care journey.”

To attend, call Laura Shuffebotham at Berkeley St James on 01204 531414 or you can just turn up on the day.
