Will I get help from the London Borough of Barnet with the cost of home care?

It can. Step one is the needs assessment: the London Borough of Barnet 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 the London Borough of Barnet.
