Good to know: paying for a care home
- £23,250 is the lineIn England you usually pay for your own care if your savings are above £23,250. If they fall below that, your council might be able to help.
- A needs assessment is freeIt works out what care you need, and anyone can ask their council for one.
- Your home may countYou may have to sell your home to pay for a care home, unless your partner carries on living in it. With a deferred payment agreement the council pays and you repay later, when the home is sold.
- NHS continuing healthcare is free and not means-testedSome people with long-term complex health needs qualify for care arranged and funded solely by the NHS, in their own home or in a care home. It starts with a checklist, then a full assessment.
This is general guidance for England, not information about this provider. Source: NHS – Paying for your own care; NHS – NHS continuing healthcare. Checked 4 October 2026.
