Funding Your Care

Depending on your individual circumstances there may be benefits to which you or a loved one may be entitled. Main Benefits include:
● Pension Credits
● Saving Credits
● Attendance Allowance
● Disability Living Allowance
● Carers Allowance

You may be eligible to receive help with funding your care from the government. You have the right to request a free care assessment from the Social Services department.

This can include a community care assessment and a means-tested financial assessment to see if you are eligible to receive support with the cost of your care

Should you not be eligible for public funding, or would simply prefer to fund your care privately, you will need to source your care independently. If you need advice on private care funding options we recommend that you speak with a Financial Advisor who has Care Fee Planning’ knowledge and experience.

The Independent Living Fund is funding from the Government to support people with disabilities to live independently in their own homes. Payments are made to people with disabilities so they can afford the costs of a personal assistant or care agency to provide the support they need to remain living at home.
