Will the council pay for my care?
You might be eligible for the local council to pay towards the cost of your social care if you have less than £23,250 in savings (called the upper capital limit, or UCL). From October 2025 this will rise to £100,000 in savings. Exactly how much the council will pay depends on what care you need and how much you can afford to pay.
The first step is for your council to do an assessment to check how much help you need. This is called a needs assessment. The needs assessment is free and anyone can ask for one. Find out more about getting a needs assessment. If you need care, the council will then do a financial assessment to work out what you will have to pay towards the cost of your care.
The financial assessment calculates if:
- the council pays the maximum amount towards your care and you might have to pay a contribution too
- the council pays a smaller part of the cost and and you pay the rest
- you pay the full cost of your care
The financial assessment is free. It can be arranged for you after your needs assessment. Read more about the financial assessment.
How the council pays for and arranges your care
If the council is going to pay towards your care, you'll get a personal budget. The amount will be worked out when the council makes a care and support plan with you.
You can choose to get your personal budget in 3 ways, or a combination of them:
- a direct payment into your bank account for you to use for some types of care – the council will usually ask for receipts to see you're spending the money on care
- the council arranges for your care and pays your care providers for you
- an organisation you choose, such as an individual service fund, manages your personal budget for you.
WE STRONGLY ADVISE GETTING A DIRECT PAYMENT CARD AND HAVING YOUR FUNDS LOADED TO THIS SO YOU CAN SELECT YOUR OWN CARE COMPANY.
If the council is arranging your care, you still have the right to decide how your personal budget is spent.
How does the process work having care at home?
Firstly, the registered manager will come and visit you at home. Where the registered manager, Rebecca, will visit the service user and usually a relative to discuss needs and build a thorough care plan and reflection of needs. Discussions may cover:
- your needs
- medical/falls history
- medical conditions
- your care plan and how you want to be supported
- a home risk assessment (identifying anything which may be hazardous).
- what visit times you would prefer for visits
- your usual abilities
- prices & fees
- service users guide & contract etc
- an agreed date to commence care.
This dicussion usually lasts between 1-2 hours. Feel free to ask any questions throughout this stage. READ MORE ABOUT THIS PROCESS HERE
What financial help can I get to help with care costs?
- Attendence allowence - between £68.10 - £101.75 per week
- PIP (personal indepdnece payments) - up to £172.75 per week
- Support from the council (amount depends on criteria)
- Continuing health care funding (amount depends on criteria)
I'm a private payer, how do invoices & payments work?
We send out invoices 4 weekly on a set invoice schedule. We serve this after every 4 weeks of care has been delivered, and is paid by direct debit.
What happens if I go on holiday or into hospital?
We charge a 50% retainer fee for your place whilst you are absent. This is to hold your place and allows us to pay our staff whilst their hours are temporarily reduced. This prevents you from losing our services and you can relax on holiday, or foxus on recuperation at hospital, knowing you have the correct support in place when you are fir for discharge. There's nothing worse than going to hospital, havng your care company fill your plac e and feeling stuck there!
Why choose a professional care provider over a private carer?
It may sound enticing to pay for a cheap private carer, but we must warn you there are some major major risks to be aware of, please read morme about these here.
