The City Council’s policy on self-funding is currently under development. However, people who wish to self-fund are entitled to a Community Care Assessment - as is anybody who requests one.

 

Our aim is for people who wish to fund their own care to be able to make informed choices.

 

The booklet ‘Directory of Care Providers’, published by East Midlands CARE, provides a comprehensive section on paying for your own care.

 

Copies of this booklet are available from the Adults and Housing Department.

 

Alternatively, the information is available at the East Midlands CARE:

01858 463 177  www.emcare.org.uk

 

Other information is available from the Commission for Social care Inspection (CSCI).

 

This includes independent reports and quality ratings on all local care homes, home care and other registered services, plus address and contact details to help you make the right choice:
