Funding Your Care

How Will Your Care Be Funded?

At Unicorn Healthcare Services, we know that paying for your care can be stressful and confusing. We’ve created this page to make it easier for you to understand your funding options.

Funding Your Care

Funding Options:

Your care maybe financed either privately or via direct payments.
If you or a loved one needs help to remain at home, you may be entitled to financial support from your local authority. This funding can help cover the cost of care services tailored to your needs.

Privately funded care is also known as self funding. This means you pay for the care services using your own savings, assets or income. You are responsible for the full cost of your care.

Direct Payments are payments made to you or the person arranging your care by your local authority to help fund some or all of your care.
This allows you to choose your own service provider and how you are cared for.
To find out if you are eligible, please contact your local authority.

Assessment & Next Steps

Once funding is confirmed:
We will arrange a home visit to meet you and a family member to complete an initial needs assessment. Our experienced staff will be able to discuss any questions or concerns you may have and suggest which services suit your needs to allow you to continue living an independent lifestyle. Once the assessment is complete you will receive a tailored care plan for you to review.
