Can I Get Financial Support to Pay for My Care?

Understanding how care is funded can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to help guide you through the process.

In England, the current threshold is £23,250. If your savings and assets are above this amount, you will usually be expected to fund your own care.

However, when receiving care in your own home, the value of your property is not included in this assessment.

If you are unsure about your eligibility, you can request a Financial Assessment from your local authority. This will determine whether:

• Your care is fully funded
• Your care is partially funded
• You are required to fund your care privately

Can Benefits Help?

You may be entitled to financial support through benefits, which can help towards the cost of your care.

These may include:

• Attendance Allowance
• Personal Independence Payment (PIP)
• Other means-tested or non-means-tested benefits

Eligibility depends on your individual circumstances, but accessing the right support can make a significant difference.

What is a Financial Assessment?

A Financial Assessment is carried out by your local council to determine how much you should contribute towards your care. It will establish whether:

• Your care is fully funded
• Your care is partially funded
• You are responsible for funding your care

How is care funded?

Care can be funded in different ways depending on your financial situation. This may include local authority funding, private (self-funded) care, or a combination of both.
