firststop care advice for older people

FirstStop is a new service for older people, their families and carers seeking advice on care, housing and finance. It aims to become the UK's leading source of independent, clear and direct information and advice on any kind of care and support for older people, their families and carers.

Launched in August 2008, the Advice Line is staffed by trained Advisors in each of the four partner organisations: Counsel and Care, Elderly Accommodation Counsel, Help the Aged and NHFA Limited. The freephone number – 0800 377 7070 – provides access to the specialist knowledge and experience of all four teams.
