Funded care by Bromley Council

Less than £23,250 in savings? You might get some or all of your care costs covered.

What are Bromley Direct Payments?

Direct Payments are made to you personally so you are able to arrange your own Care and Support, with Nightingales HomeCare being your preferred provider of choice.

As we understand this can become overwhelming and confusing, please see attached the Councils Direct Payment Fact Sheet.

With Direct Payments, you will be able to manage this yourself or with help from the Council or Nominated Person of your choice. If a loved one is acting on behalf of a client without mental capacity then you might be eligible to obtain payments on their behalf.

Are you Eligible?

Nightingales can assist in completing your assessment criteria from the Council and submit the documents for your eligibility. Initially, we can talk you through completing an Online Self Assessment or alternatively we can complete this on your behalf. This will determine if you could be eligible for funding for your Care and Support Needs

If successful we can move to stage two where Nightingales can support our clients to complete the relevant documentation, as per below.

• Care Needs Assessment or
• Carer’s Assessment

And

• Financial Assessment

If successful and eligible, these funds can enable you to support your independent care and support needs with Nightingales as your preference. We will be able to tailor your care package around the funds provided, alongside your preference in support you wish to receive.
