The financing of care services often depends on the complexity of an individual's needs and the funding sources available. Complex care, which involves extensive and specialised support due to severe health conditions or disabilities, is commonly funded through the National Health Service (NHS) in collaboration with its Integrated Care Boards (ICBs). These ICBs play a vital role in coordinating and overseeing the delivery of complex care, ensuring that individuals receive the necessary resources and support for their intricate healthcare requirements.
On the other hand, non-complex care, which typically involves more routine assistance with daily living activities and is provided to individuals with less severe needs, is often funded through the Local Authority (council). This funding is frequently subject to means testing, where the individual's financial circumstances are assessed to determine their eligibility for support.
However, it is important to note that not everyone may qualify for funded care through these channels. In cases where individuals do not meet the eligibility criteria for publicly funded care, they have the option to privately finance their own care. Private funding allows individuals to directly engage our services at MedGen Community Services, ensuring that they receive the care and support they require, tailored to their specific needs and preferences.
