Social care funding
We accept social care funding
If you're receiving social care funding through your local authority for your home care and have a personal budget or direct payments, we can accept these payments. Furthermore, we can provide valuable support in arranging your social care funding, guiding you through the process and helping you navigate the complexities of the system.
By choosing this option, you have the flexibility to select your care provider rather than having it arranged by your local authority. You can organise your care directly and pay us accordingly. Our team is experienced in working with local authorities and can assist you in securing the funding you're entitled to, ensuring you receive the care you need while maximising your available resources.
We understand that the funding process can be overwhelming, so we're here to help every step of the way. From initial assessments to ongoing support, we'll work with you to ensure you have access to the appropriate funding and care services tailored to your individual needs.
Social care funding in the UK
Social care in the UK is not free at the point of use like the NHS. Instead, it is funded through a combination of local government revenue and individual contributions.
Local authority funding
Local councils receive money from central government and local taxes to fund social care services. However, due to budget constraints, publicly funded care is typically reserved for those with the highest needs and lowest financial means.
Individual contributions
Many people need to pay for some or all of their own care costs. The amount an individual pays depends on their income, savings, and assets.
