Does North Lincolnshire council fund home care?
It can. Step one is the needs assessment: North Lincolnshire 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 North Lincolnshire council.
