Privately funding residential or nursing home placements

This is advice for you if you are considering moving into a residential or nursing home which will be funded privately by you.

This would apply if you had over £23,250 in capital e.g. money in banks accounts, building societies, stocks, shares and premium bonds). You would be considered to be a self funder and would be required to fund your residential or nursing home placement privately.

For more information on self funding, please see the factsheet located on the left-hand side of this page.
