See our full cost guide.
Can Nottingham 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) Nottingham 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 Nottingham council.
How can I pick between agencies in Wollaton?
Check how recent each CQC report is first: none of the 5 on this page were inspected or rated in the past two years, and 1 has an older report. Next ask three things: will staff be consistent, what happens about missed visits, and what is the full price? See the checklist.
