Paying for residential care
When you go into residential care (which includes nursing home care), you can meet the costs yourself if you wish.
However, in most cases the council will meet the cost of the service and you will pay a contribution based on your individual financial circumstances.
Who gets help?
We can provide financial help for those people who meet our access criteria.
A member of the adult social care team will assess your needs to help decide whether nursing or residential care is best for you. You have the right to choose which home you go to.
