Hello All
Just thought I would resurrect this thread. Im also a Social Work Team Manager with experience of social work with older people and youndger peope with ill health problems or disabilities.
My wife is an experienced carer working mainly with older people.
We were discussing this issue with a friend who volunteers for HELP. I think the main issue getting in the way is the age old one of money. As some will know social care in the UK can be quite heavily subsidised but obviously not the case in Spain.
I have been doing some 'work' with the DWP in passporting benefits to qualifying ex pats but no joy despite an EU ruling.

Did your idea get off the ground? I would be interested in meeting up to discuss if you wanted to. I have a holiday home at the moment but the retirement plan is to move over. But the sooner the better for me.

Would there be regulation required for a private social care provider? I would expect so, but will this need a specialist gestor etc?
Take care all
