Planning for my future has always been important

21/01/2015 Posted by Catriona Lumiste News

Helen Center is 79 years old and has just downsized to a three-roomed flat in South Croydon.

She is fit, well, and lives life to the full, but knows that the time may come when she needs to go into care.

“This is a time in my life when it’s important to make memories, so that when I’m in care I can then sit there and reflect on the things that I’ve done”.

Helen has ring-fenced a sum of money to pay for any care fees and has sought professional financial advice from later life adviser, Catriona Lumiste, to help her get the best out of her future:

“My family need to know that I’m looking after myself. And that I’m not going to be wholly reliant on them. It’s made me realise how important it is that I make decisions while I have control and while I have choices.”

  • With Catriona’s calm and patient approach, she was able to untangle my mother’s finances, and guide her towards making the necessary decisions to simplify and consolidate her wealth. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing financial advice.

    Janet Aslett
  • You couldn’t have been easier to talk to. I felt confident that you knew all about the money side of things, and I also saw that you had a good understanding of the kind of issues people may have to face in later life. So I was sure I could rely on your advice.

    Ms A Macnair
  • Catriona has made a difficult process very calm and pleasurable – we could not recommend her more highly.

    Mrs F Vigar
  • With your help we were able to consolidate my pensions, take a lump sum and clear all of our commitments, we have been very impressed with your understanding of our position and the level of advice you have given. All of this and the continued support has made a huge difference to our situation and made a hard time a lot easier to deal with.
