How much do I have to pay?

Intermediate care (short-term) services are free.

For longer term help, we have to work out exactly what care and support you need, and how much it might cost, before we can decide how much you will have to pay towards it. We will ask and assist you to complete a financial assessment form to enable us to work out how much, if anything, you can afford to pay. We will make every effort to tell you how much you will have to pay before care and support services start.

You may not have to pay anything, or you may have to pay for some or all of the services.

If you have to pay the full cost of your care you are called a 'self-funder'. Even though we can't help pay for your services, we can still advise you on services that might meet your needs and how to get them. If you have any problems with your care, please let us know.

If your personal or financial circumstances change, tell us and we can look at your case again.
