Social care funding
Social care funding refers to the money allocated by government and other sources to support services that help individuals with daily activities like bathing, dressing, or managing medications, especially when they have health or mobility challenges. It covers care home placements, home help, and community support. Funding can come from local authorities through taxes, personal savings, or assistance from healthcare programs. The goal is to ensure people receive necessary support to live independently or with appropriate care, balancing public resources with individual needs, while navigating complex budget constraints and eligibility criteria.
