Across this series we’ve been hearing from people who are getting the most out of their retirement and living their dreams.

But whilst many of us can forget to plan for the unexpected, those who have different needs can assume some plans are out of reach.

In this episode Angellica Bell meets Feyi, a sandwich-generation mum whose experiences caring for her mother through dementia inspired her to start a company that she hopes will help others in similar situations. As a carer, Feyi explains why her view of retirement has made her think differently about financial planning.

Meanwhile, newlyweds Heather and Alan share their story of falling in love in their 70s, having met on a walking holiday. Alan’s losing his eyesight so he and Heather share their tips for planning a lifestyle that allows Alan to stay as active and independent as he always has been. From the setup in their new flat to choosing a place to live that has everything you need within reach, they take us through their observations.

Legal and General’s Sam Roberts and Care Sourcer’s Andrew Parfery are in the studio to chat about the realities of caring for someone later in life. They share their thoughts on planning ahead – preparing for the worst but hoping for the best - as well as resources for further support for those with care needs and their carers. If you’re worried about the financial side of planning for care in retirement, there are also sound suggestions from Sam on how you can fund things.
