Who pays in Warwickshire
If you have more than £23,250 in savings and assets you will normally pay the full fee yourself. Below that, Warwickshire council assesses what you can contribute. The value of your home counts unless a partner or certain relatives still live there.
If you need nursing care the NHS pays a weekly contribution direct to the home. People with very high health needs may qualify for NHS Continuing Healthcare, which covers the whole fee.
