Finding Care
Information correct as at September 2025
You may be seeking care for a number of reasons: Deterioration in health (your or the person you care for); to respite care to cover a period when you will not be available; or as an addition to the care you provide, either for specialist care, to cover while you work or take a break, or care workers to provide homecare to assist someone with their needs at home which allows people to remain in their home and enables some independence. ​

You might also find it helpful to chat to other Carers about their experiences of local care homes, for example by coming along to a support group or Carers Connect on a Thursday morning.  Find out more on our Support Groups page.
Funding care
Care may be self-funded or assisted through the local authority depending on the finances of the person who requires care. If you are ​unsure or concerned about costs, you can get a Financial Assessment through the local authority following a care needs assessment being carried out.

You can view information and watch a video on LB Sutton financial assessments here.
