Paying for residential care

After we complete your financial assessment, we will let you know how much you need to pay toward the cost of your residential care.

How you pay your contribution depends on the arrangements we have agreed with the home providing your care.

You may be asked to pay your contribution directly to the Council, in which case we will pay the full cost to the home and a bill will be sent to you to request payment of your contribution.

There are several ways you can make these payments to the Council, and these will be shown on the invoice.

Alternatively, you may be asked to pay your contribution directly to the care home.

We advise that you discuss this with the administrator at the home and agree how you will pay.

We will arrange to pay any contribution from the Council directly to the home.
