Care Assessments and Funding in Inverness
A free care needs assessment in Inverness is carried out by NHS Highland. Anyone who appears to need care can ask for one, whether or not they will pay for care themselves.
In the Highlands, adult social care is delivered by NHS Highland on behalf of The Highland Council.
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.
