Please read the notes below before completing this application.
Please note that if you are self-funding, you must be able to fund your stay at Derbyshire House for a minimum of 5 years. If you are unable to do this and need to apply for funding from the local authority then a third party top-up is required to the relevant fee. It is in your best interests to contact your Local Authority Social Services Department for an assessment of your care needs whether you are self-funding or seeking Local Authority funding. If you are only able to self-fund your stay for a limited period of time, the Local Authority will not automatically fund your residency unless a Social Worker has assessed that you are in need of Residential care. The funding you receive from the Local Authority may not be sufficient to cover your agreed fees and may require a third party top-up by your family /representative.
