Definition
Services that have a cost and people have to pay for.
Chargeable care and support services include home care and day care. Where a person’s financial assessment shows they can afford to pay for some or all of their care and support, they will be required to pay towards the cost of the service.
The law says that the amount local councils charge must be reasonable, and that people must not be charged more than their financial assessment shows they can afford to pay.
There are also some services that local councils are not allowed to charge people for. These are called non-chargeable services.
