Care UK, one of the UK’s leading independent sector providers of health and social care services, is inviting people in East Grinstead and surrounding areas to find out more about planning for future care this Friday 12^th September from 12:00pm to 2:00pm at its Mill View care home.

The team at Mill View is joining forces with Kieron Robertson, chartered financial planner at Ashcourt Rowan, who will be sharing his knowledge and providing expert advice on funding long-term care. Visitors will also have the opportunity to ask their own questions and speak to the home’s team.

Home manager Soonita Shaw explained why she is opening the doors to Mill View for the planning care event. “At Care UK, we often find that people rush into a decision when it comes to care as they wait until there is a crisis to start making plans.

“By hosting a free information session, we can open up direct access to trusted professionals who can clearly explain the options when it comes to funding care, supporting the people of East Grinstead and surrounding areas who are thinking about their or their loved ones’ plans for the future.

“After the seminar, there will be a question and answer session and visitors will be able to ask questions relevant to their personal circumstances. We hope people will take the opportunity to join us for what promises to be a very useful and insightful event for the community.”

Those who attend the advanced care planning event at Mill View will also be able to pick up a copy of Care UK’s recently published ‘Listen, talk, connect’ – a free guide which helps friends and relatives to overcome the challenges they may face in having conversations and general interaction with those living with dementia.

Situated on Dunnings Road, Mill View is a state-of-the-art care home which provides full time residential, nursing and dementia care, as well as short term respite care. Designed to enable its residents to live enjoyable and fulfilling lives, the care home has its very own cinema and hairdressers, and there is plenty of space both indoors and out for relaxation and recreation.
