Paying for a care or nursing home
When you have been identified as requiring a care assessment, your care manager will advise our financial assessment team that a financial assessment needs to be carried out.
If you are assessed as needing residential or nursing care, your care manager will be able to tell you about the choices that are available to you.
Our care management staff will ask you for details about your income and your capital and whether you own your own home.
Other benefits
You may be entitled to other benefits.
We may be able to help you to apply for any benefits you are entitled to claim.
How much will you have to pay?
Financial help towards the cost of care in a residential or nursing home is only available to people who:
-
have less than £23,250 in savings and investments (not including the value of any property)
- have been assessed as needing care in a residential or nursing home by social care.
The amount you will have to pay towards your care services will be calculated by a financial assessment.
