Will I get help from Oxfordshire council with the cost of home care?
It may. Oxfordshire council must offer a free care needs assessment to anyone who appears to need support (Care Act 2014). If savings and investments are below £23,250, the council may contribute after a financial assessment, depending on income, and for care at home the value of the home is not counted. Attendance Allowance is not means-tested. How to contact Oxfordshire council.
How should I compare agencies in Woodstock?
Start with the latest CQC report and its date: none of the 3 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years; 3 have older reports. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed visits, and the full price before you sign. Use our checklist.
