Top-up fees and third-party payments
If you are receiving help from the local authority for care home services, this will not limit you from choosing a care home that has been selected by them. A top-up fee or a third-party payment, be it from a family or friend can contribute to your chosen care home as an extra cost on top of the local authority funding.
