Our cost guide has more detail.
Can Sandwell council help pay for a care home?
Possibly. The Care Act 2014 means Sandwell 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 Sandwell council.
How can I pick between care homes in West Bromwich?
Check how recent each CQC report is first: none of the 7 on this page were inspected or rated in the past two years, while 6 have older reports. Next ask three things: will staff be consistent, what happens about missed care, and what is the full price? Our checklist.
