Care Assessments and Funding in Wolverhampton
A free care needs assessment in Wolverhampton is carried out by City of Wolverhampton Council. Anyone who appears to need care can ask for one, whether or not they will pay for care themselves.
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 currently have a live-in carer provided by Live-in Care Direct. She is doing a fantastic job with mum, we feel she is being very well looked after. Great communication with the carer and competitive pricing. Highly recommended."
"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."
