Our Frequently Asked Questions

Find out more about what support is available in the Dudley area.

There is more information about this on our website but essentially if you have under £14,250 in capital then you may be entitled to support with some care costs. This will be assessed based on your income. If you have over £23,250 you will have to pay your own care fees as a self-funder. If you are between these 2 figures then you should receive some support. You can choose whether the council arrange your care or you receive direct payments and you source your own care. You can choose to top this figure up to ensure that you have a care provider of your choosing. If you need help looking at whether you are receiving all of the benefits that you are entitled to then you could contact the Elton Centre in Stourbridge for support info@asch.org.uk or you could contact a local SOLLA adviser to discuss paying for care and what your options are https://www.societyoflaterlifeadvisers.co.uk
