Arranging and funding care in Caerphilly
Adult social care in Caerphilly is run by Caerphilly County Borough Council. Ask Caerphilly County Borough Council 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 Wales, the most a council can currently charge for care and support at home is £100 a week, after a financial assessment (GOV.WALES). Benefits such as Attendance Allowance and NHS Continuing Healthcare can also help; see paying for care at home.
