Personal and nursing care
Costs
Personal care provided by your local council is free. You’ll get this regardless of age, income, capital assets, marital or civil partnership status.
If the care you need is falls outside the category of personal care, you may be charged for it. This may be for things like housework, shopping and making beds.
Charges vary depending on your council.
Nursing care from the NHS in your own home is free and should be provided by your GP practice.
If you need personal and nursing care in a care home, you can receive a payment towards the personal and nursing care part of your fees.
