Urgent question re Cost of home visit carers

Thanks. Yes he has more than the savings allowed so has to pay. It is the actual cost that is frightening her so hopefully soneone who is paying for this level of support for home care assisants in the greater london area will have some information to share,The six weeks weeks paid for runs out shortly. He cant walk and the carers get him up and into the lounge and do personal care.

You need to have less than £23,250 in savings to qualify for free home care in England, otherwise you do have to pay, usually after the first six weeks if there is a hospital discharge scheme in place. My mum has a Local Authority carer in the mornings, she initially had two visits on discharge from hospital, but was reassessed by the Care Team manager after six weeks, and it was agreed one visit would be enough. She is not immobile though, normally four visits would be needed for people who are, as they need more personal care.
