Care Assessments and Funding in Hull
A free care needs assessment in Hull is carried out by Hull City Council. Anyone who appears to need care can ask for one, whether or not they will pay for care themselves.
For Cottingham, Beverley and the rest of the East Riding it is East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
In England the council means-tests care. If savings and investments are above £23,250 you are likely to pay for care yourself, but the value of your home is not counted when care is provided at home.
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.

"We had a wonderful carer called Elva care for my nan. She showed such kindness and compassion. The care provided was exceptional. Having a live-in carer meant our nan could remain living in her own home safely. I would definitely recommend Live-in Care Direct."
"Within 24 hours of making contact the wonderful carer moved into my parents' home. My father has advanced dementia. Within two hours of Elva arriving my mum began to relax. She has brought kindness, warmth, love and calm into the house."
"We recently booked a carer for a fortnight at short notice. My carer Sharon has been absolutely superb providing the exact level of care I needed. She is also a good cook too. They are very well organised. We made the right choice."
