Making payments for your care
We'll calculate your payment amount and let you know by sending you an invoice. This will show you how much you need to pay.
You should pay your invoice as soon as you receive it. Direct debit is the easiest and most convenient method.
When you'll get your invoice
If we have arranged your care at home, we'll send you an invoice every four weeks.
If you are in residential or nursing care, we'll send you an invoice after your financial assessment. After this, you'll pay your provider directly.
If you receive a direct payment, you must pay your care contributions into your direct payment account.
