Will I get help from Oxfordshire council with the cost of home care?

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 Oxfordshire council.
