Funding long term care is a significant consideration for us all and it is an issue we are asked about regularly. Live in care costs are dependent on personal circumstance; there are methods of public funding available for live in care and benefit entitlements are available for many.
Some of our customers fund their care privately or via direct payments, however if you need advice on care funding options we recommend that you speak with a Registered Manager who has knowledge and experience in this area.
Anybody funding their care should first research the benefits that are available to them. Other financing options you may want to consider include equity release or the purchase of an Immediate Care Annuity. We also get asked many questions around Power of Attorney and other asset related matters.
If you or the person you are organising care for has social care needs, you can contact your Local Authority and ask for a financial assessment. Upon completion of this, they will conclude how much money they are responsible for providing to fund your care. Social care funding is means tested, which means that you may have to contribute to or completely pay for the overall cost of your social care.
Once granted, At Home-Specialists in Care can advise on how the social care funding can be used to implement a complete package of person-centred care to enable you or your loved one to remain at home. Providing hourly visiting care, we organise bespoke packages, always remaining mindful of individual budgets and future needs. You can find out more about funding for social care by contacting your Local Authority.
What next if you’ve already got funding for social care in place
If you already have funding for social care in place and would like to organise a package of care, or if you would like to find out more about our role in the funding process, please don’t hesitate to contact a member of the customer advice team today.
Our dedicated team work directly with prospective customers and with healthcare professionals on a daily basis to help people right across the country to embrace independent living.
Our hourly visiting care service is arranged around what you require; everybody is different and that’s why we take the time to understand your unique requirements, and deliver a Person Centred Approach to your needs.
With a choice of 30 or 60 minute calls (and multiple hours if needed) as well as sleep-in and Live In support, we have the experience and flexibility to meet your needs – and because our service is so flexible, we can change our service as your needs change.
Call our customer service team today who will be happy to go through the costs. Costs differ depending if care is needed in the week, the weekends or bank holidays and we will make you aware of this on the phone call – there are no hidden costs. Our Registered Managers will tell you everything you need to know to ensure you get the right amount of care. The team are ready to talk to you today:
