There are various funding options available, and what your entitled to will depend on the income and capital that you may have, the type and level of care you need, as well as where you live in the UK.

Depending on your circumstances, you may be resopnsible for paying some or all of your care home costs. It is also possible that the NHS or your local authority will cover some or all of the fees.

Your needs, and any funding assistance your entitled to, will be decided by free care needs and financial assessments. These are available from your local authority (contact your local social services department).
