Paying for care at home
Services which help to keep you independent while you live in your own home are called community care. These services could include:
- a direct payment for you to arrange your own care
- home care
- day care services
- community supported living
- mental health support
- shared lives services
Following your care needs assessment, you will be asked to fill out a form. This will ask for details of your income and expenditure, so our financial assessment team can work out how much financial assistance you will get from the council to pay for the community care. Your worker will explain and support you during this process.
