Understanding Your Funding Options

Paying for care can feel confusing, but there is often more support available than people realise. We can help you understand what you or your loved one may be entitled to — at no charge.

Our team is experienced in working with local authorities, NHS commissioners, and private families to help find the right funding route for every situation.

Not sure which applies to you? Call us for a free, no-obligation chat. We'll help you navigate the options and connect you with the right people — whether that's your local authority, NHS, or an independent financial adviser.
Talk to Us About Funding →
🏛️ Local Authority Funding
If you have eligible care needs and limited assets, your local council may fund some or all of your care following a needs assessment. Contact Cambridgeshire County Council to request one.
🏥 NHS Continuing Healthcare (CHC)
Individuals with complex, ongoing health needs may qualify for fully funded NHS care. A checklist assessment determines eligibility — we can help you prepare for this.
💳 Personal Budget / Direct Payments
Once assessed by the council, you may receive a personal budget to choose your own care provider — giving you full control over who supports you and how.
💰 Self-Funded Care
If you do not qualify for public funding, we offer transparent, competitive private rates. We'll work with you to build a care package that fits your budget without compromising quality.
♿ Benefits & Allowances
You may be entitled to Attendance Allowance, Personal Independence Payment (PIP), Employment Support Allowance, or Housing Benefit to help cover care costs.

Carers You Can Trust

Every member of our care team is carefully selected, fully trained, and DBS-checked. We match the same carer to the same client wherever possible — because consistency builds trust.

🛡️
DBS Checked
Safety First

Every carer undergoes an enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check before joining our team — giving you confidence and peace of mind from day one.
