Funding Your Care

Funding Your Care

At Oikos Home Care, we truly get how arranging care can bring up questions about costs and funding. That's why we're here to support you with various funding options, such as private funding, local authority support, and NHS funding. Our dedicated team is always ready to help you understand your choices and guide you every step of the way.

Funding Your Care

Paying for Care Privately (Self-Funding)

You might decide to fund your care privately, which could be a good option if:

✓
You do not meet the eligibility criteria for local authority funding
✓
You prefer to arrange care independently
✓
You want additional support beyond what public funding provides

With self-funding, you have full flexibility to choose your care provider, care schedule, and level of support.

We will provide clear, transparent pricing and work with you to create a personalised care plan that meets your needs and budget.

Local Authority Funding

If you have care needs, you may be eligible for support from your local authority. The process usually involves:

1

Care Needs Assessment

The Council will assess your care needs to determine what support is required.

2

Financial Assessment

A financial assessment looks at your income and savings to decide whether the Council will contribute to your care costs and how much you may need to pay yourself.

3

Personal Budget or Direct Payments

If eligible, the Council will allocate a personal budget to cover your care needs. In some cases, this may be provided as a Direct Payment, allowing you to choose and pay your own care provider.
