Charges accessing the care system – Consultation (South Gloucestershire)

The Council is considering making potential changes to the charges paid by people newly accessing the care system, who fully fund their own social care in the district and would like the Council to arrange care for them.  If approved, the new arrangements would come into effect on 1 June 2020. There are three changes proposed:

  • New users of dementia, learning disability and specialist day care would be charged £96.30 per day.
  • New purchasers of community-based services would be charged a £295 one-off arrangement fee and an annual charge of £75.
  • Service users may also become eligible for a £295 fee if they decide to change providers (and ask the Council to arrange it) for a reason not related to their care needs.

More details can be found on our consultation webpage: https://consultations.southglos.gov.uk/consult.ti/Fees2020

This consultation will be open until 17th March 2020
