Will Kingston upon Hull council pay for my care?

Kingston upon Hull council pays for adult social care subject to a means-tested financial assessment.

How do I find a care home in Kingston upon Hull?

What's included in the residential care home cost in Kingston upon Hull?

Long-term residential care without nursing — accommodation, meals, personal care and supervision for older adults who can no longer live independently. The £1,656 per week figure is the council-paid average — what private clients pay is typically 20-40% higher because care providers cross-subsidise local-authority-funded residents from self-funder fees. Top-ups for nicer rooms, additional services, or location premiums are charged separately.

Is this the same as private care home prices?

No. ASC-FR figures are what local councils pay providers for the residents they fund — not the private 'self-funder' rate. Private clients typically pay 20-40% more than the council rate for the same care. TreatCompare uses the council rate as a baseline because it's the only nationally consistent published figure; expect to pay more if you're self-funding.
