Will I get help from Cambridgeshire council with the cost of home care?
Possibly. Under the Care Act 2014, Cambridgeshire council has a duty to assess, free of charge, anyone who seems to need care and support. After a means test, the council may pay towards care when savings and investments total less than £23,250, depending on income; your home's value is ignored for care at home. Attendance Allowance does not depend on savings or income. Contacting Cambridgeshire council.
How should I compare agencies in Huntingdon?
Start with the latest CQC report and its date: none of the 3 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years, while 3 have older reports. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed visits, and the full price before you sign. Our checklist.
