A warm welcome to your new website
We’ve made improvements to help you find what you need more easily. If anything doesn’t work as expected, please let us know using the feedback button below.
Private care homes may be accessed by local authority funded residents following a social work assessment. However, if you do not wish to contact your social work department you can arrange a placement privately by contacting care homes directly. If you do so, the rates you pay to your care home of choice may be higher than the rate the Council is charged.
We will only pay towards your care home placement if we have assessed you as requiring a care home placement. If you move into a care home prior to an assessment being completed and we determine that you are eligible for funding, we will only pay towards your placement from the date of your assessment.
