Read the full cost guide.
Can Staffordshire council help pay for home care?
It can. Step one is the needs assessment: Staffordshire 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 Staffordshire council.
How can I pick between agencies in Kidsgrove?
Check how recent each CQC report is first: none of the 18 on this page were inspected or rated in the past two years. Older reports: 8. Next ask three things: will staff be consistent, what happens about missed visits, and what is the full price? A checklist to help.
