Will I get help from Warwickshire council with the cost of a care home?
It may. Warwickshire council must offer a free care needs assessment (Care Act 2014). For a care home, the value of the home is usually included in the means test unless a partner or certain relatives still live there, and it is ignored for the first 12 weeks of a permanent stay; the upper limit in England is £23,250. NHS-funded nursing care can help with nursing costs. How to contact Warwickshire council.

Start with the latest CQC report and its date: 2 of the 3 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years; 1 has older reports. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed care, and the full price before you sign. Use our checklist.
