As we live longer and with council budgets tight, the social care system that supports us in our later years is under increasing pressure.

 

The way care is provided is different depending on where you live. In England, important changes are planned for April 2016. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are also making changes to meet the growing demand for support.

 

The BBC has launched an online guide to the care system for the over-65s.

The "care calculator" covers both residential care and the support provided in people's own homes, for tasks such as washing and dressing.

 

Users can submit their postcode and find out how much each service costs wherever they live in the UK.
