The cost of care and who pays for it will depend on personal circumstances. The amount payable for care can be influenced by several factors including: Savings or property: At least part of the care home costs may be paid for by a Local Authority depending on how much capital such as savings or a property the individual has.
The type of care and how much care is needed: The level of dependence and specialist care such as nursing will affect costs.
Individual care home fees: Each care home prices its’ services differently, however, all care home fees include accommodation, meals and laundry. Check how any extra costs such as hairdressing, entertainment or chiropody will be charged.
