Funding Support
In Scotland, while NHS healthcare remains free at the point of delivery, social care services, particularly those provided in a residential home setting, are subject to charges. This means that the majority of individuals will contribute to the cost of their care.
If your capital (savings and assets) is £35,000 or higher, you will be considered a self-funder and responsible for the full cost of your care.
However, all adults over 65 in Scotland are entitled to free personal care (£248.70* per week) and nursing care (£111.90* per week) which is paid from your local authority direct to your care provider.
