You may be entitled to social care funding support, subject to your financial circumstances. For more details contact your local social services who can advise you further.
If you have already been assessed by your local council as needing social services support, you are likely to be allocated a Personal Budget, this can be paid in the form of Direct Payments, Individual Service Funds (ISFs), or Individual Budgets.
You may wish to top up your care plan and pay for some extras yourself as the local authority may not pay for everything.
At Skyline Home Care, we proudly support clients who receive Direct Payments from their local authority. This gives you greater choice and control over the care you receive and who provides it.
Direct Payments are funds provided by your local council, allowing you to arrange and pay for your own care services rather than having the council choose for you. This means you can choose Skyline as your care provider and tailor your support exactly how you want it.
What You Can Expect:
If you or a loved one are planning to pay privately for care services, Skyline Home Care offers a flexible, transparent, and supportive approach to self-funded care—ensuring you receive the highest standard of service and value for your investment.
Self-funding means you pay for your home care services directly, without financial assistance from the local authority. Whether you’re choosing private care from the start or topping up existing support, Skyline is here to guide you through the process. Our team works closely with you to create a personalised care plan that reflects your lifestyle, health needs, and preferences.
We offer competitive rates with clear, upfront costs and no hidden fees. You only pay for the care you need. We don’t have long waiting times, your care can begin as soon as you’re ready. We make the process smooth and stress-free.
What You Can Expect:
Social care is not free for everyone, you would normally expect to contribute towards your care costs. Whether or not care is fully funded, partially funded or privately funded will depend upon the type of care required, your needs and your finances.
If you are not eligible for government-funded care you will need to pay privately for your care. You can contact us on 02080512025 and we can design a care package which meets your care needs and budget.
