Frequently Asked Questions

Some of our services can be funded by your local authority. We’d advise that you contact them to request an assessment to work out if you’re eligible. You can also ask about this during your carer’s assessment or a care assessment of the person who needs support. If you’re not eligible for funded support, you may be able to pay for services using a personal budget or private funding.
