Read the full cost guide.

Will I get help from Stockton-on-Tees council with the cost of home care?

It can. Step one is the needs assessment: Stockton-on-Tees 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 Stockton-on-Tees council.

How should I compare agencies in Billingham?

Start with the latest CQC report and its date: 14 of the 85 listed here were inspected or rated in the last two years. Older reports: 46. Then ask about continuity of staff, how they handle missed visits, and the full price before you sign. A checklist to help.
