Will I get help from Hampshire council with the cost of home care?
It can. Step one is the needs assessment: Hampshire council cannot charge for it and must offer it to every person who seems to need support (Care Act 2014). If your savings and investments come to under £23,250, it may then contribute following a financial assessment, depending on income, and for care in your own home the property is left out. Separately, Attendance Allowance has no means test. Getting in touch with Hampshire council.
How should I compare agencies in Totton?
Start with the latest CQC report and its date: 14 of the 89 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years. Older reports: 32. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed visits, and the full price before you sign. A checklist to help.
