Everyone who is assessed as needing care and support are offered a financial assessment, taking part means that you will never pay more than you can afford.

Through the assessment our Client Finance Team can figure out the best way to pay for the care you need. They will look at your savings, household costs and benefits and work out how much, if anything, you will have to pay towards the costs.
