Government plans for amending the residential care fees regime are extremely modest and may not be implemented in the near future. In any event, contrary to mistaken popular belief, the responsibility for financing the dinner, bed and breakfast element of residential care, costing £15,000 or more per annum, is to remain firmly with the elderly resident, and will be extracted, if need be, by the local authority from his or her assets until they are reduced to £10,000. It is still essential to plan the protection of assets so that their application to care fees remains a matter for the elderly resident, or his trustees, not the local authority. No other publication covers the subject with such single-minded devotion to that purpose.
