Some services provided for older and disabled people are chargeable. You will have to pay for some of the services we provide. The amount will be based on your ability to pay and will be determined by a financial assessment. You will not be refused a service that has been agreed because you cannot pay. If you want information about charges for residents moving into a care home, download the document 'Residential and Nursing Homes – Information on charges' (CCH 37b). For this document please see the 'Read more' box on the right-hand side of this page.
For further information about Home Care charges and advise on home care assistance for people to live in their own homes for as long as possible, help with personal care, shopping, cleaning or other household tasks please refer to Factsheet CCH8 under the 'Read more' section.
