Paying for care
Deciding to move into care can be an emotional time for you and your loved ones. Understanding the fees, assessments, and what financial help you may be entitled to can help make the process a little easier.
It’s important to get professional advice on the best way to fund the cost of care and to make sure that you have explored all the options available to you.
Our pricing policy
We are sensitive to the challenges of funding social care. However, we do have to be realistic and ensure ongoing financial sustainability of our home. The weekly price for residents at North Argyll House is £1389. Currently, we require anyone who is applying to stay with us to provide assurances that they can fund their place for up to two years.
Depending on each individual’s financial circumstances, some residents may be eligible for funding support from their local council or NHS. In such cases, the total cost would then need to be covered by additional top-up funding from any remaining resident’s income, or the resident’s relatives or loved ones can commit to making top-up payments in order to fund the monthly price fully.
Seeking financial help
When looking into your care options, it is possible that you may qualify for financial support from your local council or, in some circumstances, from the NHS.
The first step to checking your eligibility is to get a care needs assessment by contacting the adult social services department of your local council. As part of this, a financial assessment will be carried out – looking at your income and capital – to evaluate whether you qualify for help with the cost.
