Second To None - Carers With You In Mind
We always put the person at the centre of their care and will do our upmost to ensure that their care needs are being met. Home care can help you remain in your home, in your own community, and around the family you love.
Our service offers the extra support, reassurance, and companionship that may be needed for you or your loved ones to continue living at home as independently as is possible.
Home care can help you remain in your home, in your own community, and around the family you love. We can provide extra reassurance for family members that aren’t always available to support you, knowing that you are receiving the help you need from carers who are suitably qualified and trained to carry out their work.
What Is Direct Payment?
A majority of our service users are in receipt of direct payment. As a result of this, we are able to manage our services in a flexible way that we believe meets the needs of our service users.
Most people eligible for health and social care services can apply for direct payment via their local council. Direct payment would enable you to have greater control, independence, choice and to have a say in who provides the services that you require.
Paying for your care
Depending on your circumstances, your local council may contribute to the cost of homecare or you may have to pay for it yourself.
If your needs assessment recommends homecare, you may get help with the cost from the council.
What you’ll contribute depends on your income and savings. The council will work this out in a financial assessment.
If the council is paying for some or all of your homecare, they must give you a care and support plan.
This sets out what your needs are, how they will be met and your personal budget (the amount the council thinks your care should cost). You can choose to receive your personal budget as a direct payment each month. This gives you the control to choose someone you may know and trust to care for you at home rather than using a homecare agency or company that has been chosen for you by somebody else.
If you’re not eligible for the council to contribute to your homecare costs, you’ll have to pay for it yourself.
