Paying for your care

Cost of care

Currently if you have more than £23,250 in savings you will have to pay the full cost of care at a charge of £19.40 per hour, up to a maximum of £653 per week

If you have less than £23,250, or your savings drop under this amount, you can be financially assessed based on your income and savings. Charges vary depending on the amount of care being received and financial circumstances.
