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 Lancashire council.
How can I pick between agencies in Morecambe?
Check how recent each CQC report is first: 9 of the 36 on this page were inspected or rated in the past two years, while 22 have older reports. Next ask three things: will staff be consistent, what happens about missed visits, and what is the full price? Our checklist.
