Paying for Your Care
There are several ways to fund the services which you receive. Care In Your Home Ltd are very happy to discuss these with you, and help you to make the right decision for you. Our hourly rates for private clients are fixed , depending on when we deliver them, so please ask us to send you these details.
If you thinking about getting some extra support at home then you may be able to get support from the local authority. You would be asked to undergo some assessments to determine firstly, what sort of care and support you might need, and secondly the amount of funding that may be available for you. Different local authorities will have different criteria for these assessments so the best place to start is to contact them or visit their website for some further information.
If you are eligible for support from the local Authority, a Social Worker will help guide you through how they will support you, offering different methods of financial support. One of the newer methods is called a 'Direct Payment', which means you can manage your own support and have a greater influence on who provides it. Care In Your Home Ltd can help explain this system and if you use our services, help you manage your budget. This method is becoming more popular these days because you have much more of a say in how your support is planned and delivered.
If you are in a position to pay for the support yourself, CIYH Ltd will explain precisely how our services fit with your desired support plan and how much they will cost. It is important that a full understanding is there right from the start, meaning that you can have confidence in us helping you to achieve what you wish.
