Check if you need to pay for a care home
Any property, land and buildings you own are types of capital. We include their value included with your savings and investments when we work out your contribution.
We may exclude the value of your home if there is someone still living there, such as a
- spouse or partner
- relative over 60
- relative under 16 who you support financially
- relative who is incapacitated or disabled
- divorced or estranged partner who is a lone parent with a dependent child,
The person who looked after you before you moved into the care home may be excluded but you need to discuss this with your assessment care manager.
If your home is empty because you have moved to receive care in a residential or nursing home can apply for Council Tax exemption.
