Understanding Care Funding
Navigating care funding can be confusing. This guide explains the main options available to help you understand how care might be funded.
Funding Options
There are several ways care can be funded. Many people use a combination of these options.
Local Authority Funding
If you have care needs, your local council may fund some or all of your care following a needs assessment and financial assessment.
NHS Continuing Healthcare
If you have a primary health need, you may be eligible for NHS Continuing Healthcare—fully funded by the NHS.
Direct Payments
Instead of the council arranging care, you can receive direct payments to arrange and pay for your own care services.
Personal Health Budgets
Similar to direct payments but for health needs, allowing you to have more control over your healthcare.
Self-Funding
If you don't qualify for funded care, you can arrange and pay for care privately. We offer competitive rates.
