Residential care planning covers the steps taken to arrange accommodation and support for adults who cannot live independently, including assessments, eligibility decisions, and securing suitable care homes or supported living. A solicitor in this area drafts and negotiates care plans, reviews assessments, communicates with local authorities, and helps with safeguarding or safeguarding-related disputes. They also advise on appeals against local authority decisions and ensure funding arrangements, admission processes, and continuity of care comply with relevant statutes and guidance.
