Help with Funding and Links
Self- Funding
Unlike the NHS, social care services are not free. How much you pay for your care depends on your income and savings. Care can be expensive. Most people pay some, or all, of their care costs themselves. If you have investments and/or savings of more than £23,250 you will pay for your own home care. If you have between £14,250 and £23,250 the local council may be able to make a contribution to your care fees.

Direct Payments
If you are assessed as being eligible for some Council funding toward the cost of your care, you can choose to take this funding as a cash payment. This is called a Direct Payment.
A personal budget is an amount of council funds that is judged to be sufficient to meet the assessed unmet needs of a person who is eligible for care and support. Personal budgets enable people to have some degree of choice, control and flexibility over the services they receive.
A personal budget for those people receiving care in a community setting can be taken as a direct payment paid straight to the person needing care to be spent as needed, or it can be held and managed by the council or a suitable third party and spent on behalf of the client on services that meet their needs.
You can use Direct Payments to pay for personal assistants to provide care and support.
More information on Direct Payments can be found here;
