Paying extra for your care

There are two main situations where you may need to pay extra for your care:

1. when you choose a care home that costs more than the amount the council would usually pay
2. you choose care at home or in the community that costs more than your agreed personal budget

These pages explain:

• what the extra costs may apply
• who can pay them
• what information you may need to provide
• what to think about before agreeing to pay
