How it works The long-term care scheme provides financial support to people who need long-term care for the rest of their life, either at home or in a care home.
If you cannot pay for your care costs, we can help to cover these costs. If you can contribute to your care costs, we can support you with care costs, once you have paid for your care costs for a period of time.
The amount of financial help, and when you'll receive it depends on:
