If you ever feel you need someone to speak on your behalf, either to ourselves or others providing your care and support, then you can use an advocate
.Advocates are people who are independent and could help you to express your views, opinions and wishes, and to obtain impartial advice.
Everybody is different and that’s why we take the time to understand your unique requirements, and because our service is so flexible, you can easily shrink or grow how much support you’re receiving, if or when your needs change.
The options for funding your care:
How to fund long-term care is a big consideration when looking at home care options. Depending on your personal circumstances, there may be public funding or benefits available to you, or other financing options.
Many of our customers fund their care privately or via direct payments. If you’re funding care yourself, we do recommend that you first research whether any benefits are available to you.
If the council has assessed you and you need care and support, you will then be means tested to see how much you need to contribute, if anything, and how much the council will pay towards our service. We can organise this means test if you have not already been in touch with your local authority.
