Your needs assessment will identify what care and support services you need. This is sometimes known as a community care assessment.
Unlike health care, adult social care services are not free. We will work out a personal budget for the support you need.
If you have less than £23,250 in capital, you may be eligible for some help with the cost of your care. The amount you pay will depend on your:
- capital
- assets
- income
- savings, and
- benefits
You may have to pay for all of the costs, or you may be able to apply for financial help.

Applying for financial assistance
Once you have checked if you are eligible for financial help, there is a financial assessment process to determine how much you will have to pay.
