Funding Your Care
At Excellence Healthcare Services, we understand that navigating social care funding can be confusing. There are a variety of options and knowing what’s available can help you and your family make informed decisions.
Local Authority Funding
Your local council should be your first point of contact for information on social care support. All social care support is subject to a means test, and the criteria are set annually by Parliament. Your local authority will assess your needs and allocate a personal budget accordingly.
Depending on your circumstances, your budget may be managed through:
- Direct Payments or Individual Budgets – giving you greater control over how care funds are spent
- Individual Service Funds (ISFs) – where the budget is managed on your behalf
If the local authority budget does not cover all the care required, you or your family may need to top up to ensure full support. Our team can guide you through all these options.
Private Funding
For those choosing to privately fund their care, we offer flexible, tailored care services:
- Hourly Visits: 30, 45, or 60-minute calls (multiple hours available if needed)
- Sleep-in & Live-in Care: Weekly or 24-hour support, depending on needs
- Private Supported Living: Tailored support to help you live independently in a safe, comfortable home environment
Our hourly care fees are designed to reflect the care you need rather than a flat rate. Costs vary for weekdays, weekends, or bank holidays, and we always explain this upfront with no hidden charges.
Contact our team today at 02080178844 for a detailed discussion on costs. Our advisors will help ensure you get the right level of care for your unique situation.
Direct Payments
Many local authorities offer Direct Payments, Personal Budgets, or Individual Budgets, giving clients more choice and control over their care.
We support clients receiving Direct Payments, including for Supported Living services, and can advise on:
- How to set up payments
- Managing care services using these fund
For guidance, contact your local Social Services or your assigned social worker.
