For too many years getting old and needing social care has ruined families finances.

So I’m chuffed that the Lib Dems in the coalition government have ensured the Care Bill moves our country towards the Dilnot Report recommendations:

– New asset threshold before having to help with the cost will rise from £23,250 to £123,000. A huge leap.

– Cap the maximum amount of costs a family or individual will incur a lifetime limit of £72,000 .

– Ability to move from one part of the country to another – often to be nearer family.

– Ofsted type rating will be given for all care providers which should help boost the quality of care being offered.

Progress.

Do you think these changes go far enough?
