Managing the finances of a later life client when they are in need of support
We were approached by the local authority to consider acting as a financial deputy for Mrs E. She had been living alone in her property and over the years had sadly become estranged from family and friends. Just prior to our involvement she had suffered a fall at home, which led to a hospital admission. It became clear that Mrs E was living with several overlapping mental health conditions and that she had been struggling to look after herself while living alone at home.
