Will I get help from Derbyshire council with the cost of home care?
It may. Derbyshire council must offer a free care needs assessment to anyone who appears to need support (Care Act 2014). If savings and investments are below £23,250, the council may contribute after a financial assessment, depending on income, and for care at home the value of the home is not counted. Attendance Allowance is not means-tested. How to contact Derbyshire council.

Start with the latest CQC report and its date: 2 of the 13 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years; 9 have older reports. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed visits, and the full price before you sign. Use our checklist.
