Supported living charges
If you live in extra-care housing, sheltered housing, or a supported living scheme, either the Council or the landlord will make a charge for the additional support services that are provided.
In April 2003 the rules regarding support charges changed. If you are liable to pay the support charges, you may ask for an assessment of your finances to decide whether or not you should pay for this service, depending on your financial and personal circumstances.
We will carry out the financial assessment for the support charges in the same way as above and using the same formula. The rules are as described in Department of Health care and support statutory guidance and the procedures are shown in the contributions policy for non residential care services document.
