If you use care and support services, it is very likely that you will pay for the cost yourself.
If you have savings or investments over £23,250, either in your own right or shared with your spouse/partner, you will have to pay the full cost of the residential care or nursing home.
If you have less than £23,250, you will pay towards the cost of your residential care or nursing home. This will follow an assessment to decide how much you need to pay.
Anything less than £14,250 is ignored. However, if you have between £14,250 - £23,250 we will apply a tariff income. This assumes that you can afford to pay £1 for every £250 between these amounts. This will form part of your contribution towards the cost of your care home.
