A self-funder is someone who pays the full cost of their care and support. As a self-funder, any contracts will be between you and the care home directly.
If you are a self-funder, over the age of 65 and need additional support, you will be able to claim Attendance Allowance.
We advise you to speak with your council for a financial assessment to check if you qualify for any care home funding. However, you can choose to pay for your own care if you do not want a financial assessment.
