23Policy Details
We are currently reviewing the Adult Social Care for people with care and support needs policy.
12.1 When the council is helping with care costs, adults who would like to arrange some / all of their own support may apply to the council for direct payments.
12.2 When someone has direct payments, each month the adult pays their share of the cost of their care and support into a dedicated account set up by the council. The council adds its contribution and the adult then arranges their care and support using the combined funds.
Please see the Adult Social Care Direct payments policy | Gloucestershire County Council for conditions. Direct payments are not yet available for residential care.
