Autumna Partners with AccessAva for Free Social Care Legal Guidance

Autumna, the UK's most comprehensive directory of later-life care providers, has partnered with AccessAva, a free legal guidance service designed to help care seekers make informed decisions with confidence.

Now available through Autumna’s website, AccessAva provides expert legal support on common social care issues, including funding eligibility, care home charges, and local authority disputes. By integrating this service, Autumna is ensuring families have the legal clarity they need to secure the best care for their loved ones.

For many families, finding the right care isn’t just about choosing a home—it’s about understanding rights, funding, and the complex legal landscape of social care.

However, the problem is that navigating the complexities of social care and all of the legal concerns that come with it can be overwhelming.

Debbie Harris, Founder of Autumna, highlighted the importance of this new offering: "At Autumna, we believe that everyone deserves access to clear, trustworthy advice when navigating social care decisions. Partnering with AccessAva allows us to go one step further in supporting families, ensuring they have the legal information they need to make the best choices for their loved ones."

The integration of AccessAva strengthens Autumna’s commitment to providing comprehensive, impartial guidance for those exploring later-life care options. Through a dedicated chatbot and service page, users can receive instant legal insights, helping them navigate issues such as care funding, eligibility assessments, and disputes.

Kari Gerstheimer, CEO of Access Social Care, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership: "We are delighted to partner with Autumna to enhance access to social care legal information and guidance. This collaboration aligns with our commitment to providing individuals and families with the resources they need to make informed decisions and access the care they are entitled to."

This new service is now live and accessible through the Autumna Advice Lines page, offering yet another layer of support for those seeking care solutions.
