Arranging and funding care in Flintshire
Adult social care in Flintshire is run by Flintshire County Council. Ask Flintshire County 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.
Coming home from hospital
The main NHS hospitals serving Flintshire include Deeside Community Hospital and Holywell Community Hospital. If your relative is coming home from hospital, care can start at short notice when a suitable carer is available near them. Tell us the discharge date as early as you can, and see short-notice care.
