Arranging and funding care in North Lincolnshire
Adult social care in North Lincolnshire is run by North Lincolnshire Council. Ask North Lincolnshire 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 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
The main NHS hospitals serving North Lincolnshire include Scunthorpe General 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.
