ABOUT SALLY CASTRO GOUVEIA

For most of my working career, I have been in Sales & Business Development. I\'m very much a peoples person, a great connector & collaborator and because of this I have kind of been the \"GO 2\" Person\" for businesses & people in and around the Surrey area.Over the past 14 years I have had the privilege in working for some amazing businesses, bringing local businesses together, organising and running business networking meeting, events and exhibitions. On top of this I have enjoyed building and growing a marketing presence locally through social media platforms such as this and Linked-In. For a number of years I also worked in the care sector providing \"Domiciliary Home Care\" and having done this kind of work and all the other amazing roles in my life, I do feel it\'s helped me to achieve the perfect role for me today, working in an amazing care home. DO YOU HAVE ELDERLY PARENTS- Have you thought about what would happen if mum or dad ended up in hospital and could not go back home. Later life planning is so important in this day and age and can help to avoid a lot of pain and worry in the future. When a crisis situation happens, wrong decision can be made impacting the lives of your loved ones. So early planning is really important and essential.HOME CARE, LIVE IN CARE OR CARE HOME?All of these options are worth looking into. Start researching their future happiness early so they can also be involved in the decision making process before their mental capacity either deteriorates or is compromised at which point the situation becomes much more complicated.THINGS TO THINK ABOUTPOWER OF ATTORNEY – Have you got this in place?WILL – Have you got this in place?BENEFITS & FUNDING- WHAT YOU CAN CLAIM FORAttendance Allowance - This is for anyone over the age of 65 that needs some form of assistance.

IS THERE A PROPERTY TO BE SOLD?If your loved one has a property to be sold a pension a pension annuity is a product that converts your pension pot into guaranteed regular income for the rest of your life, no matter how long you live. With a pension annuity, you\'ll know exactly how much you\'re getting, come rain or shine. Your best option for this is to speak with a financial advisor. If you haven’t got one….well not to worry I can highly recommend a few!
