After the eligibility decision

In this section

8.1   The council will: 

  • agree with the adult which of the eligible needs they would like the council to meet
  • confirm whether the adult is ordinarily resident in Gloucestershire as specified in the 

    Ordinary residence | Gloucestershire County Council  and

  • carry out a financial assessment (see section 9) if it appears that in order to meet eligible needs there may be services required for which there is a charge

8.2   The  council may on a case by case basis meet needs in other circumstances where it considers it appropriate to do so and after taking into account all relevant circumstances. The council may meet urgent care and support needs regardless of whether we have assessed the adult’s needs or financial circumstances.

8.3   The council may not meet needs which are being met by a carer who is willing and able to continue to meet needs or are the responsibility of other authorities, for example the NHS or a housing authority.
