| Annotation | This guide is aimed at people aged over 60, and it explains how councils in England set 'standard rates' for how much they are prepared to pay for a care home placement. It describes the situations when the council should increase its standard rate. It also explains when a third party, such as a relative, friend, or charity may have to pay a 'top-up' for a person to stay in the care home of his or her choice. However, this guide is not a full explanation of the law. (RH). |
