Information Classification: CONTROLLED Paying for Care Adult Social Care services are not free The amount you pay for care will vary depending on your individual situation and your financial circumstances. You may have to pay for all of the costs, or you may be able to apply for financial assistance. If you apply there is a financial assessment process to determine how much you will have to pay. More information can be found here: Paying for care This document sets out the usual charges for care. These charges will apply in full for people paying full cost of care. This will usually be people with capital in excess of £23,250, but for further details, please refer to our charging policy. For people who receive financial assistance the cost will be capped at the level of their assessed charge as determined by their financial assessment. Arrangement Fee for Self-funders If you have to pay the full cost of your care, you can still ask the Council to arrange the care for you. Where we arrange services on your behalf, we will charge a fee which covers the cost of doing this. The care and supports statutory guidance allows us to do this. The arrangement fee is £300. This will be charged the first time we arrange a care package for you. We will charge a further fee of £300 if you require a significant change to your care package. Examples of a significant change include: - A change to the type of care - A change in provider - A change requiring negotiation/renegotiation in cost Charges and rates Payable 5 April 2021

Information Classification: CONTROLLED Care Homes The Council and the NHS have a contract for the provision of care home services. If you ask the council to arrange your care, we will agree the price for your placement with the provider on a case by case basis. This will be based on the hours of care required to meet your individual assessed needs (the Tier) and the price will usually be within the Expected Range set out below. Sometimes the Council will not be able to source the care you need within this Expected Range and in this situation the Council will negotiate the price on your behalf. We will always look to find the best value for money placement that can meet your assessed needs and the price you pay will be the actual price paid by the Council for your placement. Residential Care Home Placements (care home without nursing) Nursing Care Home Placements (care homes with nursing) Where a person has been assessed by an NHS professional as having nursing needs, the NHS make a payment of £187.60 per week towards the cost of your care. This is known as the NHS funded nursing care (FNC) rate. The Expected Range for nursing care below includes the amount of the FNC. The Council pays the care home provider the weekly fee below minus FNC amount and the care home provider will claim the FNC directly from the NHS. Charges and rates Payable 8 April 2021
