Paying for care in Northern Ireland (2026/27)

  • Care home fees are means-tested by the HSC Trust: with savings over £23,250 you pay the full fee; below £14,250 savings are ignored, and £1 a week is counted for every £250 in between.
  • In a nursing home, the Trust pays £100 a week towards the nursing part of the fee for people with assessed nursing needs.
  • People in a Trust-funded care home keep at least £36.62 a week (the personal expenses allowance).
  • Care at home arranged by the HSC Trust is usually free; some extras, such as meals, may be charged.
