Ending your care agreement How to end your care agreement When you sign up to a care provider or care home, they’ll explain in your contract how much notice you need to give to bring your care to an end. Once you’ve let your provider know you no longer need care from them, you’ll still need to pay for the service or room until the end of your notice period. If you’re in a care home, you’ll only need to pay for the room during the time it’s empty. If the care provider needs to end your care Sometimes, the care provider may need to stop their service. For example, if they need to do a major care home refurbishment or if your needs have developed to a point where you require a more specialist care home. If this happens, you’ll be given at least 28 days’ notice in writing, so you have time to find alternative care. If this has happened to you or someone you’re helping you may need to look for a new care home or home care provider.
