Funding for your care
In some circumstances you or your loved one may be eligible for financial help with paying for care. There are several possible sources of help you should look into, they are outlined on this page together with links to more detailed information.
CAN YOU GET FINANCIAL HELP FOR YOUR CARE?
In organising financial matters for you and your loved one you may also look into obtaining ‘Lasting Power of Attorney’ and seek advice from an Independent Financial Advisor.’
NHS Continuing Healthcare
Are you or your loved one entitled to free NHS ‘Continuing Healthcare’? If a person’s needs are ‘health’ needs rather than more general ‘care’ needs they are entitled to NHS funding.
Local Authority Funding
Are you or your loved one entitled to assistance from your Local Authority? Local Authorities provide help with some kinds of care, but this is mean tested.
More Funding Sources
