What to expect from elderly care

Care for older people covers help with washing, dressing, meals, medication and getting about, plus company and keeping an eye on health. It is the most common registration with CQC, so most providers list it; the differences are in staffing, continuity and how well care is planned around the person.

Can Lincolnshire council help pay for home care?

Two sources of help: Attendance Allowance, which ignores savings and is for people over State Pension age, and the council. By law (Care Act 2014) Lincolnshire council must assess care needs at no charge for people who look as if they need support; if savings and investments are under £23,250, it may pay a share once your finances are assessed, depending on income. With care at home, the house itself is not included. How to reach Lincolnshire council.
