Home and residential care

If you are finding it difficult to carry out personal care routines such as washing or dressing, then domiciliary care, also known as home care services, can provide the extra support that you need.

Residential care refers to long-term care given to adults or children who stay in a residential setting (a care home) rather than in their own home or family home.

How much you will have to pay for residential care depends on your income, savings and other assets.
