general advice to get you started and make sure that you have considered all of

Range of services provided by Grace Consulting
1. GraceCare Guidance - Discussion and General Advice Service
We understand that getting started on finding appropriate care can be a difficult
and time consuming task. GraceCare Guidance starts with a Grace Care Adviser calling
you at a suitable prearranged time to discuss your situation. The Adviser will give
you general guidance to clarify any difficulties you may have in identifying and
sourcing appropriate care. The Adviser will send you relevant fact sheets and other
information, which will act as a useful first step to finding care, providing you
have the time to carry out your own search.
This value care advice service is available for just £99.
2. GraceCare Search - Consultation, Care Advice and Care Search
Grace Consulting understand that many people require more in-depth assistance and
this level of care advice is designed to provide just that. The service starts with
you booking a telephone Consultation with a Grace Care Adviser for a time convenient
to you. The Adviser will listen to your needs and wishes, discuss your situation
in detail and ask detailed questions in order to fully understand what you require.
After the Consultation, the Adviser will research appropriate care providers, and
then send you a report with recommendations, including for example a short-list
of care homes that meet your needs and wishes. Included will be information on any
current vacancies if required, or the availability of home carers, together with
brochures and costs. The Care Adviser will remain available for further follow up,
advice and reports until you have found the best answer.
This comprehensive care advice service is available for just £375.
3. GraceCare Visit - Home Visit, Care Advice and Care Search
Grace Consulting realise that many people like to discuss such important decisions
on a face to face basis, particularly if more than one person needs to be involved.
GraceCare Visit offers the same comprehensive service as GraceCare Search but with
a Care Adviser being on hand at a prearranged convenient location for you. This
service is also often of value when the person requiring care wants to be more actively
involved in the care planning. Once an initial meeting has been arranged, a detailed
face-to-face Consultation can then take place, with research, report and continued
support carried out in the same manner as for the Grace Care Search (above).
This comprehensive face to face care advice service is available for just £549.
