Am trying to understand the way care home fees work in relation to fees if you are self funded and fees payable if you are funded by the local authority. Basically, I’m trying to work out whether it is all fair and equitable or, as someone has suggested to me, that the fees are different and so in effect self funded residents are subsidising those who are funded by the local authority. I’d be surprised is that was the case as seems extremely unfair. I thought the fees were the same for everyone and if they were above the rate the LA will pay, you have to pay a top up up to the amount of the general fees. That’s right isn’t it ?
