Care Assessments and Funding in Aberdeen
A free care needs assessment in Aberdeen is carried out by Aberdeen City Council. Anyone who appears to need care can ask for one, whether or not they will pay for care themselves.
Assessments are arranged through Aberdeen City Health and Social Care Partnership.
In Scotland, personal care is provided free to adults who are assessed as needing it. Other parts of a live-in care package can still be charged for, depending on income and savings.
We can arrange live-in care privately straight away, alongside or instead of council support. Our funding guide explains the options, including NHS Continuing Healthcare and Attendance Allowance.
