Care Assessments and Funding in Newport
A free care needs assessment in Newport is carried out by Newport City Council. Anyone who appears to need care can ask for one, whether or not they will pay for care themselves.
In Wales the amount a council can charge for care and support at home each week is capped by the Welsh Government, whatever your 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.

"I can thoroughly recommend Live-in Care Direct. Jason was able to find a live in carer for my mother, on her discharge from hospital, with only 24 hours notice. The carers were kind and professional and there were never any problems."
"My wife recently suffered a stroke and after being in hospital for almost 2 months she has finally returned home. Without the help of Live-in Care Direct this would not have been possible. From my first contact, they were amazing and incredibly supportive."
"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."
