It could be additional support in the home and/or moving into a care home if you can longer manage in your own home. It is a complex area and financial planning could include life insurance, pensions, equity release.
There are also specific products that take capital and turn it into tax efficient secure income to pay for care home fees. This can make your money work against inflation or tax drag, so it can be used for paying care fees and potentially leave a legacy to loved ones if all capital is not utilised.
