Social Services Funded Care
Local authority’s social services department have a responsibility of assessing your care needs. Once you have been assessed and your Local Authority have identified a need for care, the will assess your finances to work out how you may be entitled to receive to fund your care.
You will be given a variety of options including the care you require, availability of services in the local area and providers available.
Local Authorities will choose to arrange and manage your care or you will receive a personal budget where you will be given money to pay for services and can choose your own provider giving you greater control and choice.
Residential Care Funding
If you require Residential Care, Local Authorities will assess your finances and include the value of your assets. If you qualify the Local Authority will meet your care costs but if you do not qualify you will need to fund your own Residential Care Costs.
If you’re not eligible for funding from your Local Authority there may be other options available to you. If you are eligible there are various benefits provided by the Governement that could help you meet the cost of funding your care.

Funding Your Own Care
If you are funding you own care or Self-Funding Care this means that you are paying you’re your own care without help from the Local Authority. This gives greater control and decision making regarding the type of care you receive and providers to choose from.
Direct Payments
Direct Payments was introduced by the government to help give individuals more choice and control on the care they receive and the providers they can choose from.
The payments for care are made directly to the individual after assessment by the local authority for the individual’s care needs. After the payment has been made it is now up to the individual to arrange and organise for their care.
