Arranging and funding care in Haringey
Adult social care in Haringey is run by London Borough of Haringey. Ask London Borough of Haringey for a free needs assessment: apply for a needs assessment on GOV.UK. A needs assessment is worth having even if you plan to pay for care yourself, because it sets out the help needed in writing.
In England, the council's needs assessment is free, and people with savings over £23,250 usually pay for their own care; the home is not counted when care is at home (NHS). Benefits such as Attendance Allowance and NHS Continuing Healthcare can also help; see paying for care at home.
Coming home from hospital
There is no main NHS hospital inside Haringey; the nearest include The Whittington Hospital (about 2 miles away) and North Middlesex University Hospital (about 2 miles away).
