The Romford Citizen Advice Bureau
Local authority funding for care
Depending on the support you need and your finances, you may be able to receive help towards the cost of your care. This may pay for all of your care or some of your care. A means tested financial assessment will decide how much help you can get towards the cost of care.
If they pay towards your care you can still pay for extra care yourself if you want.
If they help pay for your care this can be done in many ways:
- they can arrange the care for you and pay for it
- they can pay you money and you can arrange your own care (direct payments)
- you can arrange your care and we they can pay them (individual service funds)
Or you can purchase care yourself privately without an assessment.
If you think you need care and would like a financial assessment please call 01708 432000.
If the Council are already helping you with the cost of care and you would like to change how it is paid, or if you think you may need more help please call 01708 432000.
Independent Age produce very helpful fact sheets on care homes fees and other subjects.
