Care planning covers arranging and coordinating support for older or vulnerable adults who need help with daily living, housing, or health needs, and who may lack full capacity. A solicitor in this area helps assess needs, create care plans, and organise funding and services. They draft and review enduring powers of attorney, liaise with local authorities and providers, and prepare care-related lawful steps such as eligibility assessments, welfare decisions, and capacity considerations to protect the client’s interests.
