Cost of care reports

North East Lincolnshire Council has been responding to Department of Health and Social Care Guidance on Developing Market Sustainability and a Fair Cost of Care.

This work involved engagement with providers of care at home for all adults aged 18 and over, and care homes for adults aged 65 and over. 

We sought information from our local providers about the costs of the care and support they provide. These documents summarise the information we collected and also reflect more recent engagement and benchmarking work.

Review of Adult Social Care charging for Respite outcome

The Council has decided to change its approach to charging for respite. Instead of charging one of a number of flat fee bands, from 27th March 2023 the Council will charge individuals using the same rules that apply to charging for care at home. This means that each individual will contribute what a financial assessment based on those rules indicates they can afford to pay.
