Will I get help from Doncaster council with the cost of home care?
Possibly. Under the Care Act 2014, Doncaster 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 Doncaster council.
How should I compare agencies in Harworth?
Start with the latest CQC report and its date: 3 of the 17 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years, while 11 have older reports. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed visits, and the full price before you sign. Our checklist.
