What to expect from physical disability care

Think of stroke, Parkinson's, arthritis, MS or a spinal injury: each can reduce movement or strength, and physical disability care is designed around needs like these. Safe moving and handling, often with a hoist, sits alongside personal care and help to remain independent and active.

Will I get help from Buckinghamshire council with the cost of a care home?

Possibly. The Care Act 2014 means Buckinghamshire council has to assess care needs without charge.

The capital limit above which you pay in full is £23,250 in England, and NHS-funded nursing care can meet some nursing costs. Contacting Buckinghamshire council.
