Paying for your care

Care and support charging and financial assessment framework (policies)

Most care and support services are not free like NHS care. You will usually need to pay for the help you get.

You may get some help to pay from the council. How much help you get depends on a financial assessment and the cost of the care and support services you receive.

Our care and support charging and financial assessment framework sets out the rules on how we charge for care and support. These follow the Care Act and government guidance.
