Residential care
Paying for a care home
When you move into a residential care home, you need to pay to live there. How much you will have to pay towards your care is decided using a financial assessment. For more information, see paying for residential care.
Sometimes care homes add an extra fee for certain rooms on top of standard costs. We do not cover this fee and you would be expected to pay for this.
If you are paying for your own residential care, see paying for your own care.
