We can now expect to live longer than our parents, generation with a higher general standard of living. Yet however fit and energetic you are, the advances of time can affect your ability to do the things you now take for granted.

Demands made o­n the NHS and Social Services are increasing but resources are limited. So how will you get the help you need? Our Century Plan provides support and finance to help ensure your wellbeing as you get older.

Care for everyday living
The Century Plan offers the support of a team of specially trained Registered Nurses to:
Advise o­n coping with changes to your health;
Give you advice o­n diet and exercise so you can keep yourself active and independent;
Provide emotional support in a caring and sympathetic way.

Free Home Health Assessment
If your health starts to fail a Registered Nurse will visit you when you make a claim to:
Discuss your specific care needs;
Review your facilities at home;
Help work out how you can live more comfortably and independently;
Give you advice o­n small changes you can make to your lifestyle to improve your wellbeing.

Comprehensive Care Plan
The nurse will talk to you and find out how your health is changing and what your preferences are for the future. She will develop a personal care plan providing you with:
Recommendations to help you keep your independence;
Details of adaptations to your home that will make your life more comfortable;
Additional sources of advice and support;
Helpful products, where to find them and what they cost;
Guidance o­n getting government help and community care.

Cash when you need it
The Century Plan for people over 60 provides a cash payment of up to £10,000 if you need help with everyday activities.

Capital growth for the future
With most protection schemes, if you don't make a claim you never get back any of the money you have paid in. The British Friendly Society Century Plan not o­nly protects you, it also allows you to build up a tax-free* capital sum.
