How care charges work

Your assessed contribution is the amount we calculate you can afford to pay based on your financial assessment.

You will never be asked to pay more than your assessed contribution or more than the cost of your care if this is less than your assessed contribution.

If you're moving into residential care, see our guidance on paying for a care home.
