If the person requiring care has capital below £23,250 they could be entitled to have their care fees met by their local authority. They would still be expected to contribute the majority of their income (pension and state benefits) towards the cost of their care. Each Local Authority has a standard amount that they will be prepared to pay towards someone’s care, so it is possible that a third-party top-up would be required if a care home is chosen that costs more than this.

Special rules apply if the person requiring care owns their own property and we would suggest that you seek specialist advice if this is the case.
