Care Assessments and Funding in Armagh
A free care needs assessment in Armagh is carried out by the Southern Health and Social Care Trust. Anyone who appears to need care can ask for one, whether or not they will pay for care themselves.
In Northern Ireland, care at home is arranged through the Health and Social Care Trust after an assessment, and the funding rules differ from the rest of the UK, so ask the Trust what support applies.
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.
