Paying for Care Fees - Who does the State help?

• The NHS will pay fees for Nursing Care if you need nursing care in a care home or at home
• You or the Local Authortity (means tested) will pay for care fees for Social Care.

The local authority will usually only pay for some or all social care costs for people who have small amounts of savings and assets.  This is detailed in the Charges for Residential Accommodation Guide (CRAG).  They are only obliged to help people with social care fees whose assets are under certain means tested capital limits.
