Funding
Understanding your options.
Care costs can feel complicated. Start with clear information, then a conversation about the support you need.
Local authority-funded care
Your local authority may commission care directly. For adult care, contact your council’s Adult Social Services team to discuss a needs assessment and financial assessment. For children’s support, speak to the relevant children’s services team.
Direct payments
If eligible, you may receive a direct payment from your local authority to arrange some or all of your agreed care. Your council will explain how the payment can be used and any responsibilities that come with it.
Personal budgets
A personal budget identifies the amount available for your assessed support. How it is managed depends on the arrangement agreed with your local authority.
NHS-funded support
Some care may be commissioned or funded through the NHS, subject to assessment and eligibility. Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) replaced Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). Your local NHS team can explain the current route for your circumstances.
Self-funded care
You may arrange care using your own resources. Family members may also purchase care hours to supplement local authority-funded support. Contact the team for a personalised quote.
Planning your care costs
We offer flexible care packages with regular invoicing and payment options including Direct Debit and online payment. Please confirm current arrangements and costs with the team before agreeing care.
