Can Lincolnshire council help pay for home care?
Possibly. Under the Care Act 2014, Lincolnshire 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 Lincolnshire council.
How can I pick between agencies in Deeping St James?
Check how recent each CQC report is first: 3 of the 31 on this page were inspected or rated in the past two years, while 14 have older reports. Next ask three things: will staff be consistent, what happens about missed visits, and what is the full price? Our checklist.
