Will I get help from Staffordshire council with the cost of 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) Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire council.
How should I compare agencies in Biddulph?
Start with the latest CQC report and its date: none of the 12 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years, and 6 have an older report. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed visits, and the full price before you sign. See the checklist.
