Financial Advice and Guidance

Payment Options

A range of payment options are available for our services, and our team are happy to help you choose the correct option. View the options below:

Direct Payment

You may qualify for financial help with your care via direct payments. These are available to elderly people and other groups of people that need community care services.
Direct payments provide flexibility, as you can manage the money yourself. Simple records need to be kept to show how it has been spent on care. With this option, you are in control of your care choices, and you have the option of topping up the payments from your own resources. It gives you the freedom to choose any service provider. For further details on this service, please contact your local council.

Personal Budget

The government is committed to a policy of allocating a personal budget to each person that is eligible. A personal budget is a clear allocation of social care funding from your local authority that is given to you after an assessment. The resulting funds should be sufficient to meet your assessed needs.
You can then use this money to choose and purchase the help that you require. Managing the money is important, and you have a number of managing options to make things easier. These include:

Private/Self funding

Managing the Funds Yourself via a Direct Payment

Using a Representative – (An Independent Living Trust, Broker, Enduring or Lasting Power of Attorney Provider Organisation)

Funding by Adult Social Services

Continuing Healthcare Funding or other Health Funding

Using a Mixture of the Above Options (including Personal Health Budgets)

Payments Made Simple

Our experiencd admin team will be happy to help you manage your allocated funds and/or choose a payment method from the list below:- 

Indirect Payments - the Local Authority conducts a financial assessment (or a means-test) to determine how much you will contribute to your care.  Depending on your income, you may have nothing to contribute and the Local Authority will pay us directly for your care.

Direct Payment - the Local Authority has a duty to offer you the money to pay for your care.  They may put this in a specially opened account or give you a payment card to pay us yourself.

Cheque – An invoice is raised, and you are expected to settle the invoice immediately.

*** KCL would ask that all invoices raised are settled on receipt. This is because we are a small personlised company that has already delivered the care and paid staff
