Financial Support
The state will provide a level of care for the least well off. Your local council will conduct a financial assessment to establish whether you can afford to pay. You will have to pay at least some of the costs of accommodation and personal costs in a care home.
Briefly, there are three bands of support:
- Your local authority may pay for the cost of your residential care if your capital is less than £12,750
- Your local authority will still pay for your accommodation ad personal care, but not fully. If your capital is between £12,750 and £21,000 for every £250 you have over the lower amount, they will subtract £1 per week from the money they contribute.
- You will have to pay the full costs of your accommodation and personal care if your capital is over £21,000
If your capital falls below the upper amount while you are in a care home, you will become eligible for help from the local authority. If you want a more expensive home than the authority is willing to pay for, you are allowed to arrange a ‘third party contribution’ from another source. Your home would be included in your assets only if you live alone, or you are both moving into a care home. In addition, the local authority will disregard the value of your home for 12 weeks after your admission to permanent residential care.
