Exploring Funding Options for Visiting Care Services
You might be eligible for various forms of financial assistance to help cover the expenses associated with visiting care.
NHS Continuing Healthcare funding is accessible to those with a primary healthcare requirement, whether in a healthcare facility or your own home, and is managed by your local Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG). However, the eligibility process is rigorous and time-consuming. To determine your eligibility, you should initiate a continuing care assessment through your social worker or GP.
Social care funding, on the other hand, is offered by your local council and is means-tested, taking into account both your financial situation and care needs. If you’re receiving care at home, the assessment will not consider your property’s value. If your capital (savings and property) exceeds £23,250, you may need to self-fund your care.
To evaluate your eligibility for social care funding, you must request a care needs assessment from your local authority.
Additionally, you might be entitled to Government funding assistance to assist with your visiting care expenses. This can include benefits like Attendance Allowance, Personal Independence Payment, Pension Credit, and Council Tax Reductions, among others, depending on your specific circumstances.
