Paying for Care

Paying for care is a concern for many people as they age. Social care isn’t free and can be complicated to understand as there are potentially different sources of funding available, such as benefits, NHS funding, Local Authority payments and grants.

This Paying for Care summary aims to help you understand more about the process, so you can make a confident and informed decision about moving into a Brendoncare home.

It also explains the Brendoncare Care for Life promise; a guarantee that once you move into a Brendoncare home, you will never be asked to leave due to lack of funds.
