Self-funder administration charge
An administration charge is payable if you self-fund care with capital more than the 'higher capital limit' and want us to arrange and provide non-residential care.
The charge is payable annually, in advance.
The annual charge covers the cost of arranging, monitoring and quality checking the care you receive, and for our Income Services Team to:
- manage and reconciling your personal account
- collect your care contribution
- paying your care providers
If your care ends at any point during the year, you'll receive a pro-rata refund of the Income Services charge only.
If you end your care through the council, but decide take up services later in the same year, the full annual charge is payable again.
For more information regarding current costs view the current fees, charges, allowances and rates.
