Social care support from home
Social care support from home costs
Your council’s charging policy will show how much social care support services cost. You can ask your social care department for a copy of this.
The amount you pay will depend on the outcome of your financial assessment. This is how the social care department decides how much, if anything, you need to pay towards the cost.
If you’re discharged from hospital, you might get free social care support from home from the social care department for up to 28 days.

You may be able to get free personal and nursing care provided by your council’s social care department and the NHS, if you’re assessed as needing it.
Private social care support service providers have their own charging policies and rates may vary.
No matter who provides your social care support from home, you’ll be told what the services include and how much it costs before it begins.
