Financial assessments

The value of your home

We won’t include the value of your home in the financial assessment if you receive care at home or if your partner still lives there. We will include the value of any additional properties you own.

We will normally include the value of your home if you permanently move to a care home. You may be able to choose a deferred payment if you do not want to sell your home straight away.
