As we get older, we become more frail. We’re also more likely to become seriously ill. Conditions like Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, dementia and stroke all become more common later in life - particularly when we’re over 50.
These conditions can seriously affect our ability to live independently. Everyday tasks that we take for granted, like getting out of bed, washing, and getting dressed, can become much more difficult.
The longer you live, the more likely you are to need help looking after yourself. You might need to make changes to your lifestyle, whether it’s getting a mobility scooter, paying someone to cook and clean, or even going into care.
Examples of lifestyle costs: | |
---|---|
A mobility scooter | between £300 and £5,000** |
Carer to visit for 14 hours a week | £11,000 per year*** |
Average cost to support living with dementia | £30,000# |
Living with dementia for 5 years | up to £150,000 |
We pay out your LifestyleCare Cover if, for whatever reason, you’re no longer able to look after yourself. This could be because you’ve become frail. It could also be because you’ve had a stroke, or if you’re living with a degenerative condition like Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s or dementia. You can use this money in any way you want, including paying towards any adjustments you need to make.
