    Policy Details

We are currently reviewing the Adult Social Care for people with care and support needs policy.

10.1   The council will fund only what it considers necessary to meet needs.   

10.2    People may be able to increase their options if someone (for example a family member) is able to provide additional support or is able to ‘top up’ what the council will fund.  

Please see our Choice of accommodation and top ups | Gloucestershire County Council policy for information about ‘top ups’ for care in a care home, Shared Lives Scheme or supported living accommodation.
