Paying for care doesn't have to be confusing.
A plain-English guide to funding options — council tax discounts, pensions, NHS support, and disability benefits.
Most families qualify for more support than they realise
Funding homecare can come from several directions at once — your own savings, NHS support, or one of several benefits designed exactly for this. We'll talk you through what you might be entitled to before you commit to anything.
Where funding can come from
Council Tax Discount
Home adaptations for care needs shouldn't increase your council tax bill — and some care-related circumstances qualify for a discount.
State Pension
Many families use part of their State Pension income to fund flexible, part-time care visits.
Pension Credit
An income top-up for pensioners on a low income, which can free up budget for care costs.
NHS Continuing Healthcare
Fully funded NHS care for people with a primary health need, assessed by a nurse, doctor or social worker.
PIP
Personal Independence Payment supports people under State Pension age with a long-term health condition or disability.
Attendance Allowance
A benefit for people over 65 who need support with personal care or supervision, based on need rather than current care received.
