Care costs
There are usually four options when it comes to the cost of care:
Social care funding
Everyone will be entitled to a level of funding from their local authority which is subject to a healthcare assessment.
It is means tested alongside financial assessment to establish if you are able to part fund your cost of care. More detailed information can be found here.
Healthcare funding
