If you have capital assets (savings, stocks and shares, and other investments - not including the value of the house in which you live) of more than £23,250, you will need to pay the actual cost of the care and support you receive.

If you own or part own a property (other than the main or only home in you live in), the value of that property will be included in your financial assessment, based on the percentage of ownership.
