Clear, straightforward guidance on home care funding, helping you understand the options available and what happens next.
Thinking about getting started with a home care package can be a daunting task, and it can be made even more worrying when the question of how it will be funded comes into the mix. We've put together a few options to explore. This is not a substitute for seeking professional advice, but hopefully it'll be helpful.
Attendance Allowance is a government benefit that helps with the extra costs associated with illness or disability. The amount awarded depends on the level of support required.
If you receive support from social services, you may be eligible for Direct Payments. This funding allows you to arrange and manage your own care services.
NHS Continuing Healthcare funding may be available for individuals with ongoing or complex health needs. Eligibility is assessed by the NHS based on the level of care required.
For homeowners, equity release may provide a way to help fund care while remaining in the comfort of your own home. Independent financial advice should always be sought before proceeding.
