Paying for care and support

There is usually a cost for care and support services, unlike health care which is free to everyone at the point of delivery.

Here you can find information about charging, how to apply for financial help and ways to pay for your care and support services.

You may find it useful to get advice from an independent financial adviser or an independent organisation. Locate - care and support in County Durham can help you search for local independent financial advisers.
