Testimonials
In the UK, local councils may be able to help fund retirement home care if you’re eligible for financial support.
The amount you pay and how much the state will pay depends on your location, income, capital, and savings.
To see if you qualify, your local council will perform a free needs assessment to determine how much help you need.
If you need care, they’ll then conduct a financial assessment, also known as a means test, to determine how much you’ll pay.
The means test will consider your income and capital, and may determine that:
- The council pays the
- maximum amount and you pay a contribution
- The council pays a smaller portion and you pay the rest
- You pay the full cost
If your savings fall below the upper capital limit, which is £23,250 in England and Northern Ireland, you can contact your local council about three months before you think your savings will drop.
They can reassess your finances and provide funding from the date you contact them. You won’t be reimbursed if your savings are below the limit before you contact them.
Other sources of funding include:
