How can I find out if the council will fully fund care?
You’ll need a care needs assessment which will include financial assessment (or means test).
If assets (including most investments and savings, but excluding any property) are:-
Over £23,250 - No funding available, so you or your loved one will need to pay for the full costs privately (also called self-funding).
Between £14,250 and £23,250 - Partial-funding available, you or your loved one will need to contribute towards the costs of care from income (such as a pension) or savings.
Less than £14,250 - Full-funding available, but some financial contribution from income (such as a pension) or savings may still be needed.
