Funding Your Care
People often assume that personal care can be expensive; however, numerous finance options are available to ensure you, or your loved one can remain within the comfort of the home. Local Authority or NHS Continuing Healthcare Team Funding is available if you qualify. Below is a brief explanation of the types of support available.
For information regarding finance options, please visit www.dh.gov.uk and enter “funding care” in the search bar.
Personal Budget
A lump sum that is set aside to cover your healthcare requirements. You can accept the amount personally or as a direct payment, or you can request your local authority to use this money on your behalf. Your budget can also be allotted to a trust fund and managed by a family member or social worker if needed.
Personal Health Budget
An allowance that is offered to those with a recognised health concern. The NHS offers three options for a Personal Health Budget: Notional Budget, Real Budget Held by Third Party, and Direct Payment.
Individual Budgets
Similar to Personal Budgets, they provide greater flexibility involving other sources of support. These include Supporting People, Disabled Facilities Grant, Independent Living Funds, Access to Work and Community Equipment Services.
Direct Budget
Offers you complete control of your care package and provider. Finances are given to you directly to buy services for your care needs.
Benefit from a free, no strings attached care assessment.
A member of our team will visit you in your home to conduct a full assessment of your care requirements. This allows us to understand you, your personal preferences, and what level and package of support you need.
