Our cost guide has more detail.
Can Salford council help pay for a care home?
Possibly. The Care Act 2014 means Salford council has to assess care needs without charge. For a care home, the means test usually includes your home's value, unless your partner, or certain other relatives, still live in it, and never in the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay. 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 Salford council.
How can I pick between care homes in Eccles?
Check how recent each CQC report is first: 1 of the 11 on this page was inspected or rated in the past two years, while 9 have older reports. Next ask three things: will staff be consistent, what happens about missed care, and what is the full price? Our checklist.
