Eligibility
You may need to pay towards your Adult Social Care services. This can include home care, day care or residential care services.
The Care Act sets out the criteria to decide if you can receive support or money from Adult Social Care at Newcastle City Council.
It’s described as having ‘eligible care needs’ or that you are ‘eligible’ for support if you meet this criteria. This is decided when you have a Needs Assessment.
After you have had a conversation with Adult Social Care and been offered a needs assessment, you may be offered a Financial Assessment. This helps to find out how much money you will pay for care and support services. It is free to have a Financial Assessment.
Contact Adult Social CarePoint to have a chat about what support might be available to you, or someone you care for.
