Services for adults explained
Paying for services
Our assessment and advice services are free. We do charge for care services such as:
- personal care
- transport
- day services
- telecare - equipment that supports independent living, such as personal alarms and monitoring equipment
- direct payments
- personal budgets
- housing related support
We will assess your ability to contribute to the cost of your care and support. Your contribution will be worked out by assessing your income and other assets expenditure with you. This will tell us whether or not you can afford to make any contribution to your care and support costs and if so how much.
If you are assessed as being able to pay all or part of your care costs you will be sent an invoice every four weeks. This will show how much you need to pay and how you can arrange to pay. If you do not agree with the level of your assessed contribution or your circumstances change, you can ask Client Financial Services Team for a review.
