First Minister and Rebecca Evans visit Swn-y-Gan care home

Welsh Labour Gower candidate Rebecca Evans and First Minister Carwyn Jones have visited Swn-y-Gan care home in Banc Bach, Penclawdd, to meet residents and members of staff. 
 
The visit came in the same week that Welsh Labour announced its pledges for the Assembly election in May, which included doubling the amount of savings or assets people can keep before paying any care home fees to £50,000.
 
First Minister and Leader of Welsh Labour, Carwyn Jones, said: "We believe that people in old age who need extra help - those who have played fair and paid in - deserve a fairer deal. People who have worked hard all their lives to buy their own home should be allowed to keep more of the value of that home. That is why we are pledging to double the capital limit."
 
Rebecca Evans said: "Welsh Labour believes that people should be able to keep more of their hard earned savings to pass on to their children or grandchildren. It's only fair.
 
"The First Minister and I are very grateful indeed to the residents and staff of Swn-y-Gan care home for the warm welcome we received."
 
At the moment, the capital limit in England is £23,250. The Conservative UK Government has abandoned its previous promise to reform the system of paying for care.
