The report of the Director for Care and Health stated that currently individuals in receipt of a respite or short-term stay in a care home are charged a standard rate; this means that some people are left with less than the Minimum Income Guaranteed amount as set out by the Department of Health and guidance set out within the Care Act 2014. An interim process has been in place since July 2018. This report sets out options to ensure people are treated fairly and are assessed to pay the maximum amount they can afford to contribute towards the services they are receiving.
