” We believe that everyone deserves the best possible care in their own home “
At Royale HomeCare Ltd, we offer extremely high quality care and support at a price that represents excellent value for money.
Funding Privately
Most of our clients fund the cost of their care privately.
We recommend that you seek financial advice about managing your finances so that you can carefully plan how your care funding costs will be met over time.
There are a range of options available to you and you may be surprised by the number of solutions which you could benefit from.
Your family may purchase a certain number of care hours on your behalf to supplement what is funded by your Local Authority
It is possible to self-fund some or all of your care and you may wish to commission your own care using personal resources
We offer a regular invoicing and payment service with an option to pay by Direct Debit or via online payment
Local Authority Funding
Every individual is entitled to have a Care Needs Assessment carried out by their Local Authority. This is typically conducted by an occupational therapist or a social worker. You can also carry out the assessment yourself.
If your local authority determines that you have a care need they will carry out a financial assessment, known as a means test, to determine who should pay for that care. Typically, if you have savings and assets worth over £23,250 then you will be required to meet the cost of the care yourself. Where you are receiving care at home however, the value of your home is disregarded from the means assessment.
If you are entitled to financial support from the Local Authority, then the money can be paid into your ‘personal budget’. This means that you (or somebody nominated on your behalf) can control the money that you receive and decide who provides your care to you
NHS Continuing Health Care Funding
NHS continuing health care funding is available to those who have a disability or complex medical problem which, typically, requires nursing care.
There is no clear cut list of health conditions or disabilities which qualify for funding and all local authorities have different budgets and eligibility criteria. If you believe that you may qualify for funding you should ask your GP or social worker to arrange an assessment.
Unlike Local Authority funding, Continuing Health Care Funding is not meant to be assessed and is based purely on medical need. The value of your assets is therefore not taken into account in the assessment.
If you do qualify for funding then the money that you receive can be paid into your ‘personal budget’ meaning that you have complete control in deciding who provides your care to you.
