If you have a social care assessment and are assessed as having eligible care and support needs, we will carry out a financial assessment with you or your financial representative.
We will agree with you the amount that your care will cost. This is called a ‘Personal Budget’. You may have to pay a contribution towards the cost of your care. Your contribution will be worked out during your financial assessment.
The amount you need to pay will depend on:
- your financial situation
- the type of care you need
- the amount of care you need.
It’s important you let us know straightaway if there are any changes to your income or savings. We may need to do another financial assessment.
If you disagree with the assessed charge or have any other issues relating to the financial assessment outcome, please contact us.
The video below explains what to expect when you have a financial assessment:
