  • They are only meant as guidelines. To work out the exact amount you’ll need to contribute, you will need a full financial assessment.

  • If you do need to contribute towards the cost of your social care, your contributions will begin from the date your chargeable services start. This doesn’t include care provided by our reablement service.

  • Our reablement services work closely with people in their own homes to provide personal care and support needs. We give reablement care for up to six weeks. After the reablement six-week period, you will need to pay for any care you get.
