Care Assessments and Funding in Middlesbrough
A free care needs assessment in Middlesbrough is carried out by Middlesbrough Council. Anyone who appears to need care can ask for one, whether or not they will pay for care themselves.
Neighbouring Stockton, Redcar and Hartlepool each have their own 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.
